Banana Bread Bites

Share this recipe!

If you’ve always loved banana bread, you need to try this twist on the basic banana bread recipe.  Soft, chewy in the center, with a little crunch from walnuts.

Why you’ll love this recipe:

• Simple ingredients you probably already have in your own kitchen!
• Perfect for banana bread lovers looking for a fun twist on the classic
• A delicious, healthy snack packed with fiber, healthy fats, and potassium
• Vegan, dairy free, gluten free, and could be nut free if exclude walnuts

Ingredients:

• One very ripe banana: I highly recommend a banana that is very ripe (mostly browned). Overripe bananas have a higher sugar content because the starch is converted to sugar.
• Maple syrup: Will add a little more sweetness to our recipe. I recommend a good quality maple syrup and not using regular syrup.
• Old fashioned oats: I have not tried this with quick oats, but the old fashioned oats create a nice chewy texture.
• Walnuts: If you like a little crunch to your banana bread you will love the addition of walnuts! You can omit if you don’t like nuts or looking for a nut free recipe.

Pro Tips:

• Use an overripe banana and not a yellow banana. The higher sugar content in the overripe banana adds so much flavor to these bites!
• Try out some other fun flavors: add chocolate chips, peanut butter, almond butter, and/or pumpkin seeds for a fun twist on these banana bread bites.
• Use parchment paper to avoid sticking.
