These makhana and peanut bites are chewy and soft. Bananas give these snacky bites sweetness while making them nutritious. In a refrigerator, the bites last for four to five days.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup makhana powder
4 tablespoons peanut butter
¼ cup jaggery
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
½ banana
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons chocolate chips
METHOD
In a deep bowl, add the peanut butter, jaggery, vanilla and banana. Mash the banana using a fork and mix all the ingredients well.
Beat the mixture.
Gradually add the baking powder and makhana powder and keep mixing.
Add the chocolate chips and mix the dough. Move the dough into an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Grease a baking tray lightly and preheat your oven to 180˚C.
Pull the dough out of the fridge and make small balls out of it. Place the balls on the tray and press them with a fork.
Bake at 180˚C for 15 minutes. Let the bites cool in the oven for 5 minutes and then outside till they are fully cooled.
Enjoy your chewy and extremely tasty makhana-peanut treats!
