Quick Healthy Banana Snacks Recipes

These Frozen Banana Treats are made from all natural ingredients, taste amazing and are so easy to make. A great snack for little (and big) hands.

This is such a simple treat to make and tastes delicious. If you haven't tried frozen banana treats then please take five minutes to prepare this healthy snack. You and your kids will love them, I'm 95% sure of it! Even my husband, who doesn't really care for bananas, loves these!

I first started freezing bananas as a student, they were great for when I craved something sweet. To me, they taste so much more indulgent when frozen and you can get a sweet fix without the guilt.

They are so easy to make and you can feel great knowing you are giving your child a treat made with all-natural ingredients and no added sugar.

You want to make sure your bananas are at prime ripeness. Yellow bananas work best. Green bananas and overripe, brown bananas don't work as well in this recipe.

You want to slice your bananas at around 1.5 - 2 cm thick. If you go too thin they won't hold together as well.

Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas

Natural peanut butter and no added sugar chia jam works best for this recipe. The banana adds plenty sweetness and you don't need any extra sweetness from peanut butter and jams that are packed with added sugar.

You only want to add a small amount of nut butter and jam (see above picture), if you add too much it will ooze out the side and can get very messy!

Line a baking tray with a silicon mat/baking paper and place the banana treats on the tray in a single layer, ensuringthe bites do not touch (this stops them from clumping together.)

Let me paint the picture for you. I had pulled one load of laundry out of the dryer, moved one from the washer to the dryer, and put yet another load in the washer. I had the counter covered with little containers and dirty knives and packages of grapes and carrots and cheese and bread and crackers and cucumbers and bags of raisins and tubs of yogurt and bottles of honey and everything else needed to prep two kids’ lunches and breakfast for the next three days.

The flat iron steak was thawing and the zucchini was recently sliced for that night’s dinner. I moved the chicken from the freezer to the fridge to thaw for tomorrow’s dinner. Dirty dishes were multiplying next to the sink. The phone was ringing because mom was calling.

Five minutes later he got the hint. He walked his seven-year-old butt upstairs and politely asked for me to get him some batteries for the controller. And I did.

Well, clearly the hint was not taken by the five-year-old.What did I hear ten minutes later bellowing over the music from Super Mario Brothers?

However, some store-bought granola can be loaded with extra sugar and fat, which is why I often try to make my own. That was I control the ingredients that go into it.
