A rich and delicious Chocolate Banana Peanut Fudge made with only 5 ingredients, naturally sweetened with banana and with chocolate protein for added fibre and protein. It’s a great no-bake snack or dessert.

I love using healthier ingredients to make indulgent desserts and these fudge bites tick all the boxes. They are made with just a handful of wholesome ingredients, while being easy and quick to make and taste amazing. They combine peanut butter, banana and chocolate together (three of the best things) into one little dessert or snack that is great for meal prep, as well. Everyone will love these no-bake bites, and you can switch up the toppings too to add dried fruits, other nuts, different fruits – the choice is yours.

What ingredients do I need?

You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourite and recommended products in the “shop the recipe” section.

For the fudge:

Banana: one banana is for the slices underneath and the other is to mash into the fudge mix.
Chopped peanuts: to add some crunch.
Dark or oat milk chocolate: I use Raw Halo giant buttons as they are made with simple, healthy ingredients but you can use your favourite chocolate bar, chips or buttons.
Smooth peanut butter: make sure it’s smooth and runny and ideally 100% peanuts. I love the Manilife or Pip&Nut brands in the UK.
Chocolate protein powder: I use the Form chocolate peanut protein which tastes so good and blends so well into this fudge mix.
Salt: adding some flaky salt on top is so good.

Are these gluten-free and nut-free?

These are naturally gluten-free and to make them nut-free, swap the peanuts for seeds, the peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini and check your protein.

How do I make them?

These are ready in a few steps:

Slice one banana and mash the other: place the slices into a lined dish.
Sprinkle nuts over the sliced banana: into the dish.
Melt the chocolate and peanut butter: until glossy.
Stir in the mashed banana and protein: until smooth.
Pour the fudge mix over the banana: and smooth out.
Top with more peanuts and flaky salt: and set in the fridge.
Slice into bars: and enjoy.

How long will they last?

These will keep for 5 days in a sealed container in the fridge. You can freeze them, but it’s best to eat them slightly frozen as the defrosting banana goes very soft.
