In my home made nutrition experimentation vein here’s experiment #2:

Peanut Butter’n’Banana Energy Bites

• 250g dates
• 50g dry roasted unsalted peanuts
• 50g banana chips
• 10g chia seeds
• 1/4 tsp salt

Pulse peanuts and banana chips in food processor until finely chopped.  With the food processor running, add about 1/2 of the dates, then the chia seeds and salt and finally the rest of the dates.  When everything is well chopped and mixed, spread small bar shapes (if you make 9 bars they divide easily into 36 bites) on parchment or a teflex sheet and put in the dehydrator for about 2-3 hours, flip and dehydrate for another 2-3 hours, then place on a normal dehydrator grill for a final 2-3 hours.  Let cool, then cut the bars to produce 36 mini-bars (bites).

Delish and best yet my gut seems to tolerate them well too.  Enjoy!
