Raw Peanut + Banana Chip Bites {Vegan + GF!}

I love raw cookies.

Raw Peanut + Banana Chip Bites {Vegan + GF!} | Whisk and Shout

They’re mini (which is cute), they’re healthy (which means you can eat like, 100), and they’re SO easy to make. It’s seriously a win-win-win situation.


These bites are classic. I’m sure everyone has seen a peanut butter/banana/chocolate chip mixture a few dozen times on Pinterest.

This recipe is my version of the flavor combo, and I love it a lot.

Instead of using peanut butter, I opt to use PB2 (powdered peanut butter), because it adds the peanut flavor without all of the fats. Healthy fats are great for you, but when you’re like me and end up devouring an entire batch of cookies, you don’t want to also be consuming a whole jar of peanut butter.

These bites are naturally sweetened by the banana and only one tablespoon of maple syrup. It’s a pretty sweet deal! (Someone stop me).

If you use gluten-free-certified rolled oats, then this recipe is not only vegan, but also gluten free! The bites come together in about 5 minutes MAX, and are in the freezer for another 5-10, if you can stand to let them sit in there that long before diving in.

    Mini foods always taste better! These peanut butter bites look incredible, Medha! I absolutely love that they’re no bake. And what a great idea to add in some banana chips! Love your creativity. This sounds like the perfect snack! Pinned!

    I love that PB2 powder! It is so handy! I have a hard time getting peanut butter to totally dissolve in smoothies but that powder is just perfect! I have all the ingredients for these little cookies, I can’t wait to try!

    I’m always looking for delicious recipes that are grab and go snacks! I can add this one to my list! Thank you Medha! I am wondering what these would be like with natural crunchy PB? Thank you and Happy 2015!

      So when using peanut butter, I would use 1/4 cup, because of the wetter texture and stronger flavor. If the mixture is too wet, add up to 1/2 a cup of rolled oats and process, 1/4 cup at a time!

    So yum! I just love that these are healthy too, can’t wait to make a batch. Don’t know if it’s peanut butter and banana week but so many people are blogging recipes with peanut butter and bananas lately! No complaints here though, I love the stuff. I’ve never heard of pb2 but I’ll have to try it.

    Never tried PB2, but it sounds useful! Love this kind of raw healthy snack, too. Making something like this this week might (just might) stop me from picking at all the leftover Christmas snacks 😉

    Hahaha! I laughed that I can eat 100 – that’s great news! And, I’ve never heard of Peanut Butter powder Medha! I definitely have to check that out to cut the fat! I love learning tips like that! Wish I had some of these right now!

    I love little bite-size snacks like this, and I’ve not tried PB2 yet. I’ve been wanting to, and I think it would be perfect in a snack like this!

    Hi there – this is such a neat recipe. I made something similar once but using regular PB and I also did bake it (maybe that so similar afterall…). This is so easy and a wonderful snack to have in the fridge!

    Oh my gosh yummmmy! I have made something really similar in the past and I recall becoming midly (incredibly) addicted while they lasted! This morning I was literally just wondering what on earth to do with all of these over ripened bananas…but HEY, looks like I’ve got a plan afterall! Yayayay!
