Gather all the ingredients and necessary tools, including a mixing bowl, a fork for mashing, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Peel the ripe bananas and mash them in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the almond butter to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
Incorporate the rolled oats into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
Pour in the honey or maple syrup and cocoa powder, mixing until fully combined.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly dispersed.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, placing them on the lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the bites for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt the remaining dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Dip each bite into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and return to the baking sheet.
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each chocolate-coated bite before the chocolate hardens.
Chill again for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate has set.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
