Banana Bites – The Easiest Snack That Feels Like a Treat

Banana Bites

If you’ve been following along for a while, you know I love recipes that are simple, nourishing, and kid-approved — and these banana bites check all the boxes!

They’re made with my go-to pancake batter that’s naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and refined sugar-free. I just thicken it slightly (like I did for last week’s apple fritters), slice up a banana, dip the rounds into the batter, and give them a quick pan-fry. That’s it.

No fancy equipment. No oven. Just a few minutes and you’ve got warm, golden banana bites that are crispy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, and super versatile.

Why We Love Them:

• Perfect for slow weekends

• Easy enough for weekday mornings or after-school snacks

• Naturally sweet, so no added sugars needed

• Allergy-friendly and totally customizable

• Works with or without added fat in the pan

How to Serve Them:

These are amazing on their own, but they’re next-level with a few toppings:

• Fresh berries or sliced strawberries

• A drizzle of maple syrup

• A spoonful of hazelnut chocolate spread (clean version, of course!)

• Or pack them in lunchboxes with a little fruit dip on the side

Quick Tip: If your batter feels too runny to coat the bananas, just add a little more flour (I usually go with oat or rice flour) until it sticks nicely.

I love making a double batch because they disappear fast — and yes, they’re freezer-friendly too. Just reheat them in a pan or toaster oven for a quick snack.

Enjoy!
