Peanut butter banana slices

Print Recipe

Quick, fuss-free peanut butter banana slices make a creamy-crunchy snack that packs natural sweetness, plant protein, and heart-healthy fats in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium ripe banana (≈118 g), peeled
  • 2 tbsp (32 g) natural peanut butter, stirred
  • ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds or crushed peanuts for crunch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice the banana cross-wise into ¼-inch (6 mm) rounds.
  2. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on half of the slices.
  3. Top each with another banana slice to form little “sandwiches,” or leave open-faced for easier handling.
  4. Dust with cinnamon and sprinkle chia seeds or crushed peanuts if desired.
  5. Serve right away, or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 4 hours to keep the banana from browning.

Notes

  • Swap peanut butter for almond, cashew, or sunflower-seed butter to suit allergies.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a touch of maple syrup; omit for a lower-sugar snack.
  • Freeze assembled bites on a parchment-lined tray for 1 hour, then store frozen for a cool summer treat.
  • Add a dark-chocolate chip atop each slice before sandwiching for a dessert twist.
