Kid Approved Banana Bites

These kid approved peanut butter maple banana bites are delicious, nutritious, and take just 5 minutes to make. If you have picky eaters, this little snack is for you! The best part is that big kids can make these for themselves and little one's can still help, too.

These snacks are made with healthy ingredients that you probably have already. Bananas are the base, then you dollop on peanut butter mixed with a pure maple syrup. You can drizzle dark chocolate over them to make them even better, but they honestly don't need it.

Once you've tried this simple snack, you'll be making it again and again! It would be super adaptable if you wanted to sub the peanut butter for a different nut butter and sub the pure maple syrup for honey. You could sprinkle chia and flax seeds on there, too. Play around and add some extra toppings.

Try not to eat the whole plate of peanut butter maple banana bites.
