Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bites
Frozen peanut butter cup banana bites could not be simpler to make and they make a perfect healthy bite-size treat.
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.
You will love Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bites because:
- An easy-to-make dessert or snack that is made with wholesome ingredients

- Gut-friendly recipe
- Healthy dessert or snack

Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bites are made with:
- 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
Recipe Tips:
- 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.
