Paleo Banana Bread No-Bake Bars

Is there truly ANYTHING better than the smell and taste of fresh banana bread!? I honestly don’t think there is. Banana bread, to me, is the ultimate comfort food. It reminds me of baking with my mom when I was little and never being able to stop at just once slice.

But with it getting warmer here in Seattle,  I haven’t been wanting to turn on the oven as much, but I knew I had to satisfy my banana bread cravings somehow. So these no-bake paleo banana bread bars (with the most delicious chocolate topping) were created and I can’t get enough!

Something I struggled with when I was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and started a healing diet (these can easily be made Specific Carbohydrate Diet friendly by simply not adding the chocolate top!) was that I thought I was going to have to take hours cooking every day.

Although eating in a specific way DOES take extra time and planning, it’s my goal to show that delicious, gut-friendly treats can also be EASY.

And what’s easier than no-bake treats!? These paleo banana bread no-bake bars truly take less than 25 minutes to prepare and then all you have to do is pop them in the freezer/fridge. OR, if you’re impatient like me, you can eat the batter straight from the bowl.

These paleo banana bread bars double as a healthy snack or a healthy dessert because they’re made with nourishing ingredients but also taste like the world’s best sweet treat. Truly irresistible!
