Healthy 4 Ingredient Banana Bread Bars (Gluten Free)

by Stella on January 24, 2025

These healthy 4 ingredient banana bread bars are so quick to make for when that sweet craving hits. These bars are made without any sweetener, gluten free, vegan and taste incredible!

These healthy banana bars are literally my favorite because of their simplicity and they taste SO good. There is no added sweetener like in most treats. Yes we add in some chopped dark chocolate here but a great alternative is zero sugar chocolate chips. If you like this recipe, you will love my Super Gooey Flourless Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Bars.

The bars are gluten free since they’re made with almond flour. If you don’t want to use almond flour, you can sub in oat flour instead. And if you don’t have peanut butter, you can sub in almond butter or sunflower seed butter. If you don’t want to use chocolate or chocolate chips, you can add in blueberries, chopped dates or dried fruit.

Once all the ingredients are mixed together, you will have a thick dough like batter. Spread this out evenly and top with more chocolate as a nice finishing touch! These bars always satiate my sweet tooth cravings and I feel like its a healthier alternative! Another great recipe for you to try is my Banana Blueberry Oat Bars.

Equipment

Ingredients

4 bananas, mashed
1/2 heaping cup all natural peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
2 cups almond flour
pinch salt
1/3 cup chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a 8×8 inch brownie pan with parchment paper.
To a large bowl, add in and mash the bananas, then add the peanut butter, vanilla, almond flour, salt and mix until combined – you should have a thick mixture. Lastly fold in your chopped chocolate (reserving a few pieces for the top). Transfer mixture into the brownie pan, press down and spread out evenly with a rubber spatula. Top with more chopped chocolate. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before slicing.
