No bake peanut butter banana bread bites ingredients

Every single ingredient used to make healthy no bake peanut butter banana bread bites were hand selected to create the most delicious & healthiest snack possible.

Peanut Butter

I use crunchy peanut butter all the time in healthy baking recipes. It contains healthy amounts of protein, antioxidants, and magnesium.

Banana

I use bananas all the time in my breakfast, snack & dessert recipes. They not only contain healthy amounts of potassium, vitamins, antioxidants, and magnesium, but they are the perfect natural sweetener to make these bites plant based & vegan!

Maple Syrup

This is just the best all-natural sweetener! It tastes delicious and doesn’t include nearly as much sugar as processed white sugar.

Chocolate Chips

When choosing my chocolate, I like to go for all-natural and organic brands. Ones that do not have preservatives or artificial ingredients! My favorite brand is Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips!

Coconut Flour

When compared to all-purpose flour, coconut flour is far more nutrient-rich. In fact, this type of flour contains protein, fiber, calcium, and iron. Plus it is grain free and gluten free!

How to make vegan no bake peanut butter banana bread bites

My favorite thing about this simple and easy no bake banana bread bite recipe (besides the taste of course) is how easy they are to make! For this healthy snack recipe, you’ll only need a couple of kitchen tools making the clean up super easy. You’ll just need a mixing bowl and a plate!

First, in a large mixing bowl, mash your ripe banana with a fork. Then, mix in your salted crunchy peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. After that, add in the coconut flour and salt (if not using salted peanut butter).

Once the dough is ready, use your hands, roll 12 – 16 balls and evenly space them across a small tray or plate.

Then, in a microwave-safe bowl, add your favorite chocolate chips (I love using Lily’s Sugar Free Dark Chocoalte Chips) and coconut oil. Microwave for 20 seconds. Stir. Microwave again for 20 seconds. Stir. Continue this process until your chocolate is completely melted.

Lastly, dip a fork into the dark chocolate and drizzle across the bites and let them set in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before enjoying.

And there you go!! You just made the best ever, soft, and delicious NO BAKE banana bread energy bites.
