Frozen Banana Bites are a fun and healthy kids' snack that are easy to make. They are a wonderful way to turn plain fruit into a fun treat and to use up a bunch of bananas before they over ripen.
There is no cooking required with this recipe and you need just 3 ingredients. Just a little slicing, assembling and freezing. Frozen banana bites are a great way to get your kids in the kitchen with you. If your kids are into helping make their own food, they will also love these rainbow cream cheese stuffed crescent rolls for breakfast. Both recipes are sure to be a hit!
I make these when my kids are going through a picky phase, giving me a hard time about eating their fruit. We also add banana to peanut butter toast, strawberry mango smoothies, peanut butter milkshakes, 3-ingredient banana pancakes and banana chocolate muffins to do the same trick.

Ingredients and Supplies Needed
To make frozen banana bites you need:
- Bananas: always use fresh, ripe bananas
- Nutella: a good substitution is peanut butter, almond butter, or chickpea nut butter for a vegan version
- Sprinkles: we like using rainbow jimmies, but your favorite sprinkles work fine
You'll also need popsicle sticks or candy apple skewers. Alternatively, freeze the banana slices individually if you don't have something to hold them together.
Yield: 9 frozen banana bite stacks with rounds cut ½ inch thick and stacked in sets of 3.
Kristina's Tip
Be careful when inserting the stick. If done too forcefully the bananas could break. Squeeze the banana stack gently as you insert it, so the counter pressure holds the bananas together.
Instructions
- Start by prepping the bananas. Peel them, then slice them into ¼ to ½ inch rounds. How big you make each slice is up to you.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Place the banana rounds onto the baking sheet and spread on a teaspoon or two of nutella.
- Top the nutella with sprinkles.
- Stack the bananas in groups of two or three tall. Then slide the wooden stick into the stack.
- Freeze for one hour, then enjoy your delicious frozen banana bites!
How To Store
Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months in freezer safe storage bags.
