These no bake Banana Bread Energy Bites are a delicious snack that the whole family will love!

Energy bites make the best snack!

These chocolate chip banana bread energy bites are so easy to make and are a yummy healthy snack that you can feel good about eating.

As always, my rules for energy bites are the following:

easy to make
do not taste like protein powder
filled with healthy satiating ingredients
taste like a treat!

I am happy to say these energy bites check all of those boxes! The flavor tastes like banana bread married a no bake cookie.

They are made with wholesome ingredients like peanut butter, oats, honey, and protein powder for a little extra boost!

Homemade protein balls, protein bars, and my homemade Trail Mix Recipe are favorite snacks in our house.

The full recipe with instructions can be found at the bottom of this post, but here is what you’ll need to make these!

Trail Mix Recipe

Ingredients You Will Need

Natural creamy peanut butter: the only ingredients should be peanuts and salt

Vanilla protein powder
Vanilla extract
Rolled oats
Salt
Mini chocolate chips

How to make banana bread energy bites

Step 1: Add all of the ingredients to a mixing bowl, then use a rubber spatula to mix it all together until a thick batter forms.

Rubber spatulas are my tool of choice when making any kind of energy balls. They work perfectly for handling thick and sticky batter!

Step 2: Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Use a mini cookie scoop to drop balls of batter onto the baking sheet. Roll each one with your hands to smooth out the edges.

Kitchen tips

I find a 1.5 tablespoon sized cookie scoop to be the perfect size for energy bites. It also makes the cleanup and prep go a lot faster!

Step 3: Place the baking sheet with the energy bites on it in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the balls are hardened.

Step 4: Transfer the energy bites to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freezer.

Storing energy bites

Leftover energy bites can be stored in an airtight container or bag. They will keep 5-7 days in the refrigerator, or 2-3 months in the freezer.

To thaw frozen energy bites, allow them to sit at room temperature for around 5 minutes or so before eating.

Notes

Natural peanut butter does not have added sweetener. The only ingredients should be peanuts and salt. If your peanut butter does not contain added salt: use the full amount listed in the recipe. If your peanut butter has salt in the ingredients: only add ¼ teaspoon of salt, or salt the batter to taste.
