How to Make Frozen Banana Treats
- Bananas
You want to make sure your bananas are at prime ripeness. Yellow bananas work best. Green bananas and overripe, brown bananas don't work as well in this recipe.
You want to slice your bananas at around 1.5 - 2 cm thick. If you go too thin they won't hold together as well.
- Nutbutter and Chia Jam.
Natural peanut butter and no added sugar chia jam works best for this recipe. The banana adds plenty sweetness and you don't need any extra sweetness from peanut butter and jams that are packed with added sugar.
You only want to add a small amount of nut butter and jam (see above picture), if you add too much it will ooze out the side and can get very messy!
- Freezing
Line a baking tray with a silicon mat/baking paper and place the banana treats on the tray in a single layer, ensuring the bites do not touch (this stops them from clumping together.)
Freeze until solid, approx. 2 hours, and then transfer to a freezable container/bag.
Storage
Enjoy these treats straight from the freezer. Properly stored, they will maintain at best quality for 2 to 3 months, but will remain safe beyond that time.

Frozen Banana Treats
Ingredients
- 2 Bananas *SEE NOTE 1
- 1 tablespoon Natural Peanut Butter *SEE NOTE 2
- 1 tbsp Raspberry Chia Jam *SEE NOTE 3
Instructions
- Peel bananas and slice bananas approx 1.5-2cm thick (½ - ¾ inch) thick.
- Add a small amount of nut butter to a banana slice and top with a small amount of chia jam. Top with another banana slice to make a sandwich. *SEE NOTE 4
- Continue until all the banana is used up. I made 14 but how many you make will depend on the size of your banana and how thick you slice.
- Line a baking tray with a silicon mat/baking paper and place the banana treats on the tray in a single layer, ensuring the bites to not touch (this stops them from clumping together.
- Freeze for two hours (or longer) and then transfer to a freezable container. Enjoy straight from the freezer.
Recipe Notes
- Make sure your bananas are ripe, green bananas will not work as well.
- You can replace peanut butter with any nut butter of choice.
- I use 2 ingredient chia jam, it is easy to make and tastes great with the sweetness of the banana.
- You don't want to add too much nut butter and jam as it will squeeze out and make a mess! See picture above for the amount I added to each slice.

You can put fruit fresh on the bananas or any fruit to prevent them from turning brown

Sounds delicious! I have done this before with chocolate, but I look forward to trying your recipe soon! 🙂

I freeze bananas for smoothies, and they always turn brown. What’s the trick to keeping them looking good in the freezer? I would love to make these!
Amy
Hi Amanda, I freeze on a tray and then transfer to an airtight glass container. It has a vent on the lid that allows you to push down and then close to remain airtight. I have frozen them in bags before but they definitely don't last as long.

I made these after seeing them on your Instagram. I just used peanut butter as I didn’t have any chia jam. I can’t believe how good they are, I actually ate more than the kids. I’ll be making them again for sure.
