Sometimes all it takes is your four favorite most used ingredients, and a new way to serve it, and you have a instant household favorite! That is exactly how I came up with these Peanut Butter Banana Bites. I was slicing bananas for oatmeal when I had the idea to add peanut butter on top. It seemed like the perfect place to sneak in some chia seeds, and a little chocolate. It takes just a couple minutes to prep, no mess, no baking, and all these ingredients I always have on hand.
Now that it is warming up this is a great after school snack. I made a a big batch of these and we’ve been snacking on them in the afternoons. We eat them right out of the freezer, but I think it’s best when they have been sitting out for just a minute, then they melt in your mouth. It’s kind of like biting into a frozen peanut butter pie but MUCH healthier. It’s smooth, creamy, and sweet!
Four of my favorite ingredients and about four minutes of prep, and we have a healthy, sweet, and tasty snack! :)

I love anything pb and banana!! Plus I love how easy these are!!
Thanks Vicky, we looooved them.
Great to hear Emily! Have a great day.
these look yummy but how did you keep the bananas from turning brown?
Hi Cynthia – they will not turn brown in the freezer. After I slice the bananas, and top them with the peanut butter, I put them in the freezer until just before serving them. Enjoy!! -Victoria
Would this work with either a soy-based butter, or a cashew or almond butter? My daughter is allergic to peanuts, unfortunately.
This should work with any butter. Hope you all enjoy!
Mini chocolate chips will save you from having to chop them up
This sound so great. Love your blog!!
Thank you!
How long can they stay in the freezer? Just for that day?
These will stay good for a couple weeks in the freezer.
