Paleo Banana Bars

Linda Etherton

These Paleo Banana Bars are great for snacking on. They are soft but not crumbly, moist, slightly sweet, and grain free.

These Paleo Banana Bars are great for snacking on. They are soft but not crumbly, moist, slightly sweet, and grain free. They’re made with real food ingredients like bananas, natural almond butter, almond flour, coconut flour, and honey. They’re practically perfect in every way.

I like them for an afternoon snack, and my college attending son likes them for on-the-go between class eating. I’ve mentioned before that I make a lot of bars for him, and I like to make a variety. I love that these bars provide him with some unrefined carbs as well as healthy fat and protein.

    I recently made these with pumpkin instead of banana. I wanted the flavor of fall. I added 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 cup of honey since the pumpkin isn’t sweet like the banana. They came out perfect! My whole family loved them. It was perfect. Thank you for developing this awesome and versatile recipe!

    Linda,

    When a recipe such as this one–Paleo Banana Bars–calls for “vanilla,” is that supposed to be liquid vanilla extract or solid vanilla bean powder?

    Since each will affect the final texture of the bars differently, I never know for sure which vanilla product I should use. (Your FAQ page, by the way, does not answer this question either. I checked:)

      Hi Mae. It refers to liquid vanilla extract.

    What could be used in place of the almond and coconut flour?

      Sorry, but there’s no good substitute.

    I needed to do something with overripe bananas. I don’t like making muffins. This recipe worked beautifully and everyone love it. It’s like banana bread in a pan.
