Looking for a healthy snack recipe with bananas? These blondie bars are easy to make and make a perfect afternoon snack!
Welcome to DAY 2 of our SimpleFit Two-Week Plant-Based Cooking Challenge!
Have bananas and don’t know what to do with them? This No-Bake Banana Blondies recipe is the quickest and easiest thing to make with ripe bananas that are about to go bad.
You can, of course, make some baked goods with it, such as Flourless Banana Bread or Banana Muffins. But if you’re looking for something you don’t have to bake, and something that is a bite-sizes mid-day banana-flavored snack, then this recipe is the one to make.
What’s this challenge? We will be cooking a brand-new plant-based recipe every day for the next two weeks together! All recipes are pantry-friendly, easy to make, and will NOT require hard to find ingredients (because grocery shopping ain’t the same anymore!).
+ Giveaways: Follow along and if you make one of the recipes and post a picture of your creation in our Facebook group, you will be entered into a giveaway for a chance to win one of the editions of my digital cookbook “10 Vegan Meals in 1 Hour”. Winners will be picked every other day over two weeks!
Ingredient Substitutions
Mashed banana -> Apple sauce (you may have to add more coconut flour and nut/seed butter to achieve thicker consistency)
Nut butter -> Any kind of nut or seed butter such as peanut, almond, cashew, sunflower seed, etc.
Coconut flour -> Almond flour is the best substitution choice. You can also use oat flour with the caveat that blondies may have a little gritty texture.
Toppings -> I used chocolate chips and coconut flakes but you can use anything you like. Some suggestions are chopped nuts and seeds such as pistachios, almonds, or sunflower seeds, goji berries, raisins, dried cranberries, crushed granola, and ground cinnamon. You can also dip the blondies into melted chocolate.
