Peanut Butter Banana Bites (Easy No Bake Snack!)
If you’re looking for a quick, kid friendly treat that’s both delicious and fun to make, these Peanut Butter Banana Bites are the perfect answer! They combine the natural sweetness of bananas with creamy peanut butter and can be topped with anything from mini chocolate chips to colorful sprinkles. Best of all, they’re a no bake snack you can whip up in just minutes, and one that my whole family DEVOURS. We love to use them as a simple dessert – one that still satisfies the sweet tooth but isn’t too much of a sugar rush for the younger members of the family that I’d like to get to bed not that long after dinner.
Whether you’re making them for after school snacks, a light dessert, or even a fun little party platter, these bites are sure to disappear fast. Plus, they’re easy enough for kids to help assemble (my kids love adding the toppings!), which makes the process even more fun.
Why You’ll Love Peanut Butter Banana Bites

- Customizable – Choose your favorite toppings for endless variations.
- Healthier Treat – A sweet snack without loads of processed ingredients.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 ripe bananas (not too soft)
- ½ cup peanut butter (melted in the microwave for 30 second increments works best)
- Optional toppings:
- Mini chocolate chips
- Rainbow sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
- Shredded coconut
- Drizzle of melted chocolate
How to Make Peanut Butter Banana Bites
- Slice the bananas – Peel and cut into ½-inch thick slices and place in mini muffin tin or this silicone mold.
- Add peanut butter – Warm peanut butter slightly until smooth and melty. Spread or drizzle a small amount on top of each banana slice depending on how peanut buttery you want it.
- Add toppings – Sprinkle on mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or colorful sprinkles.
- Chill (optional but HIGHLY recommended) – For firmer bites, place them on a parchment lined tray and chill in the freezer for a couple of hours before serving. My husband prefers them not to be chilled but they are definitely MESSY if you don’t freeze them. And the peanut butter and bananas both freeze very soft so you don’t have to worry about biting into a rock.
- Enjoy! – Pop them out of the tray and serve immediately.
Variations & Healthy Twists
- Nut Free Option – Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or almond butter.
- Protein Boost – Add a drizzle of Greek yogurt mixed with honey before freezing or stir in peanut butter powder to the peanut butter prior to drizzling.
- Dessert Style – Dip half the banana bite in melted chocolate, then freeze. (These look way more gourmet!)
Serving Suggestions
These peanut butter banana bites make a fun after-school snack, an easy party treat, or even a light dessert when you’re craving something sweet but not too heavy. Try setting up a “topping bar” and let kids decorate their own – sprinkles for fun, nuts for crunch, and chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
They’re the definition of an easy snack that gives you a little piece of mind that it’s not just an overly processed, sugar filled junk food. Plus, they’re so easy to make and perfectly bite sized! They also pair great with our Yogurt Chocolate Bites if you want to make both at one time. Let me know what toppings your family prefers in the comments.
