Peanut Butter Banana No Bake Energy Bites are the perfect EASY healthy sweet treat, breakfast, or snack for the busy days! Perfect for back to school or diets! From The Cookie Rookie!I love that these no bake energy bites are pop-able treats you can feel good about feeding your kids, or yourself! If your kids have a nut allergy, you can easily swap out the peanut butter for sunflower butter, or your favorite alternative. I adapted this recipe from one of the GREATS…Ali at Gimme Some Oven. She has some great ideas for alternate add-ins…check her out HERE!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (if you are dealing with a peanut allergy, you can sub other butters such as sunflower seed butter)
  • 1 banana, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup ground flax seed
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon Monk Fruit In The Raw Sweetener

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Using a fork, mask and stir until all ingredients are well combined. If you feel the consistency is a bit too sticky, add more oats as needed.
  2. Place bowl in fridge for about 30 minutes. This will help in creating the bites later.
  3. Remove bowl from fridge and roll "dough" into 1 inch size balls.
  4. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy!

  1. This is a total winner all around! I'm a huge snacker so these are perfect for me. And that lemonade? I love that it comes in a glass bottle!

  2. Peanut butter and chocolate are the best! And mixed with banana to, yum! I'll have to try these. Sweetener from monk fruit, eh? That's really interesting, but makes sense since they're so sweet. Yum! Those lemonades look so refreshing too.

    • Hey Stephanie, it's something I'm hoping to add in the future, but I haven't found a good app to use yet. I will definitely keep looking! It would be a nice feature, I totally agree!

    • Hey Jody, here is a product locator: http://www.intheraw.com/finding-itr/find-retailer/ I hope it's sold near you!! If not, let me know and I can give you some alternative!! Thanks for stopping by :)

      • I am in Quebec Canada, and I have never seen these products, nor did the site give me any local locations for purchase. What can I use instead of the Raw products? Thanks so much.
        Reply

        • Oh bummer (about the lack of In The Raw but def not about living in Quebec...so beautiful!) You can use your favorite sweetener. In the Raw specializes in alternative sweeteners, but you could use regular sugar or whatever you like best. You don't need much, the pb makes them naturally sweet :) Thanks for stopping by!

  20. That sounds like the perfect way to get some added protein in a tasty, meatless way! :) Just a heads up though, there are a lot of schools up here in Canada that have a nut-free policy so it would be more ideal as an afterschool snack. Thank you for the great recipe I cannot wait to make them for my son with raisins instead of chocolate chips :D

  22. These look wonderful! I'm not a big fan of coconut do you know if I could leave it out or substitute it for something else?

  23. Loved this recipe. My kid is my husband and he's just loving these! Can you freeze them? And thaw as you go? Thanks!

  25. Just made these with my daughter and we had a problem with not being sticky enough. Followed the recipe exactly, what could be be added or changed? More peanut butter, less oats? Need help!

  28. Just a note-- in some school districts children are not permitted to bring peanut butter. But they can bring almond butter, cashew, etc. So first time school parents need to find that out before sending these little gems in their kids lunch boxes. They look and sound delicious!! Will definitely try them!

    • Definitely. I should have specified as an after school snack. I did state in the recipe that sunflower seed butter or other alternatives can make this recipe safe for allergies. Thanks for stopping by!

  35. Hello, I came across these because I needed to use up some bananas. I substituted powdered Stevia for the monk fruit. I added flax and chia seeds then one extra banana and more oats for it bundled up nice and held together. My biggest problem was NOT eating any before they were finished. It tasted really good.: -)The next batch I'll do a peanut buttet /nutrla blend.

  36. I am DELIGHTED to have come across your site! I have bookmarked it in my folder titled "Fun Blogs". *smile* And I am particularly grateful that you have included this recipe on your site. I have reactive hypoglycaemia and simply never know when my blood sugar is going to hit the floor seemingly out of the blue. I am always looking for recipes for something healthy to be able to grab really quickly. Low blood sugar too often triggers seizures so I will eat anything I need to, and too often it's just an unhealthy sugar snack. These banana oatmeal bites are going to be FABULOUS for me to have on hand!But could you suggest a different sweetener? I am also allergic to Stevia. However, since the bites are small I am sure using plain sugar will still keep this snack healthy enough. Thank you SO MUCH!

  38. I just loved these energy bites. I used chia seed didn't have flaxseed. I also used agave for sweetener. Getting ready to make copies for my friends. Keep up the good work

    • I know you asked this a while ago but in case anyone is wondering, I'd imagine any syrup would work. I use Agave or honey and it's perfect, I'd be willing to bet maple syrup would work (though it would alter the taste), corn syrup, rice syrup, molasses (again , it would alter the flavor), etc. even very reduced sugar water would probably work.

  47. Do you keep them in the fridge for 2 weeks before serving? Or up to two weeks in the fridge after serving (if there are leftovers)?
    Reply

  48. Do you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut flakes, and for the chips, do you prefer using the semi sweet, or perhaps even dark? I can't wait to make & taste these...thanks for the recipe.
    Reply

  49. do you not have to cook the oats first? you just eat them raw with the other ingredients?i'm a newbie at this stuff so please answer :) thanks
    Reply

  51. Another simple recipe likes this would be to used just bananas, oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and honey. For extra taste, you can add some cinnamon. My friends and I will pair each ball with a small pretzel for extra texture; however, only do this if you plan on eating that day. Otherwise, the pretzels tend to get soggy.
