You know those moments when you just need a little something sweet but don’t want to dive into a full-blown dessert? Yeah, I’ve been there too. 💛 Whether it’s a late-night craving or that mid-afternoon slump, these Banana Nut Butter Freezer Bites are my go-to solution.

And the best part? They’re stashed right in the freezer, ready to be enjoyed whenever the mood strikes.

So, let me share a little story. One day, after a long and tiring day, I found myself longing for a snack that was both satisfying and not too indulgent. I remembered the bananas sitting in my kitchen and thought, why not turn them into something special? And that’s how these delightful bites were born. They’ve since become a staple in my freezer, perfect for those moments when I just need a quick pick-me-up. I simply slice the bananas and dip them in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar before popping them in the oven for a few minutes. The result? Delicious banana bites that hit the spot every time. It’s amazing how a simple snack can bring so much joy.

Ingredients

Banana slices
Nut butter of choice (I used raw almond butter)
Cashews, chopped (or any other nut you prefer)
Dark chocolate, melted
Freeze-dried strawberries (optional, but adds a lovely crunch)

Instructions

Slice the banana into coins. Try to keep them about the same thickness so they freeze evenly.
Place the banana slices into a silicone ice cube tray. This makes it super easy to pop them out once they’re frozen.
Top each banana slice with a dollop of nut butter. I went with raw almond butter because I love its earthy, rich flavor, but feel free to use whatever nut butter you fancy!
Sprinkle on the chopped cashews. They add such a nice crunch, but if cashews aren’t your thing, any nut will do. I’ve tried this with pecans and walnuts too—equally delicious.
Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top. Dark chocolate gives these bites a luxurious feel without being overly sweet. Plus, who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate?
Add some freeze-dried strawberries if you’re feeling extra fancy. They add a pop of color and a delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy banana and nut butter.
Freeze for several hours, or even overnight. You’ll want to make sure the nut butter hardens up nicely.
Pop the bites out of the tray, let them thaw for a minute or two, and enjoy!

These Banana Nut Butter Freezer Bites are a lifesaver when you need a quick and satisfying sweet treat. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep, you can have these on hand whenever those cravings hit. Trust me, they won’t last long in your freezer!
