    Today I'm sharing another of my easy recipes for kids - frozen banana bites!  These little bites are made from simple healthy ingredients but they taste like a real treat, and would make a fantastic healthy snack, dessert, or even a fun breakfast idea!

    I've also included a free printable recipe sheet at the end of the post so your own child can try making these themselves - following a recipe from start to finish can feel like a real achievement for a child and can be a great confidence boost! This is an allergy friendly recipe too, as it's dairy free, nut free and gluten free (do look at your oats packet to check they are gluten free if you need to avoid gluten).

    Frozen Banana Bites

    Ingredients

    • ½ cup oats
    • ¼ cup desiccated coconut
    • 1 tbs sesame seeds
    • 3 or 4 bananas

    Method

    Before you begin, find a baking tray fits into your freezer.  Cover the baking tray with tinfoil or baking paper.

    Measure the oats, coconut and sesame seeds into a bowl and mix well.

    Peel the bananas and cut them into bite sized pieces. A quick note on knives here - I allow six year old Small Child to use a small sharp knife under close supervision.  I believe that teaching your child to use a knife safely is preferable to keeping them away from the altogether, but it really does depend on the individual child - use your judgement to decide whether your child is ready to use a knife.  With this recipe, a blunt butter knife will also work just fine on banana.

    Dip each piece of banana into the oats and turn until well coated in the oat mixture.  Place on the baking tray and repeat until all the banana pieces are gone.

    Freeze for 2 hours or overnight then serve frozen.  Once frozen solid, pop any leftover bites into a bag and keep frozen until ready to use. Best used within a week.

      I love this idea, so simple and I may be able to swap a few ingredients for what we have in the cupboard as we have been lucky so far with no known allergies in our house and don't have any coconut so I am wondering if ground almonds might work instead of the coconut and maybe some cinnamon. Thanks for another great idea 🙂

        Thank you, it's definitely highly customisable, I created it using what I had lying around myself! 🙂

        Thank you! You might like my coconut ice recipe too for using up the coconut - not healthy but definitely delicious!

      Thank you, I don't know where the idea came from to be honest, I do have to avoid dairy most of the time due to allergies in the family, so I that was probably where my train of thought led!
