Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bites

Recipes don’t get much simpler than this, but I had to share because it is one I make on repeat. Frozen peanut butter cup banana bites are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth and by using green bananas they are also gut-friendly!

I use green bananas in this recipe because while bananas are still slightly green they are lower in sugar, higher in resistant starch that supports a healthy gut, and do not have a strong banana flavor that will overpower the peanut butter cup flavor.

These healthy frozen Reese’s cup banana bites are great for kids and the summertime. They make a great dessert or snack, are gluten-free, and can easily be made dairy-free. 

• An easy-to-make dessert or snack that is made with wholesome ingredients
• A gluten-free, vegan, and plant-based treat
• They only take a few minutes to make
• Gut-friendly recipe
• Healthy dessert or snack
• Made with healthy fats, fiber, and protein
• Taste like a healthy Reese’s peanut butter cup 

• green banana: use bananas that are still somewhat green to keep the banana flavor from being too overpowering
• peanut butter: to make these like Reese’s peanut butter cups, but you can substitute any nut butter of choice
• chocolate chips: melt in the microwave – if you are looking to make this dairy-free look for chocolate labeled vegan or dairy-free 
• coconut oil: just a little to make the melted chocolate smooth and creamy 
• sea salt: to bring out all the flavor and chocolate with sea salt is always a winning combo

• This recipe is so delicious you are going to want to double or triple it, which you can easily do to make as many as you would like
• To keep this recipe dairy-free and vegan use my favorite chocolate chips Good Sam or Enjoy Life
• Make this recipe nut-free by using sunflower seed butter in place of the peanut butter
• I love dark chocolate chips in this recipe but milk chocolate works just as well
• Don’t have chocolate chips? You can use any chocolate bar as well just break it apart and melt it with coconut oil in the microwave.

• pb&j air-fried banana split
