What if I told you that you can enjoy all the flavor of banana bread in perfectly portable mini bites?
And what if I told you that these bites are made without and butter, oil or added sugar. (Well, there’s sugar in the butterscotch morsels, but not in the dough, so I think that counts for something, right?) The bites are also eggless and yet somehow, they’re still completely delicious!
These bites taste great warm right out of the oven for a healthy dessert but can easily be stored in tupperware for a portable snack.

Description
When I picture banana bread in my mind, I envision a fragrant loaf of bread just begging to be sliced and topped with a smear of butter.
What if I told you that you can enjoy all the flavor of banana bread in perfectly portable mini bites?
Ingredients
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/3 cup finely crushed walnuts
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine all ingredients together and thoroughly stir until everything is combined.
- Shape dough into small balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. The dough will be very moist and sticky, but it should hold its shape when formed into balls.
- Cook 15 – 18 minutes.
- Allow bites to cool and enjoy!
I hope these bites satisfy your banana bread craving and make your house smell like heaven!

Such an easy and cute treat for the fall! Cant wait to try.
Are you still doing the PBF Book Club?
My boyfriend and I just started to make energy bites and I can’t wait to try this recipe!
I love how simple these sound and the addition of butterscotch!
I can’t wait to make these! I think I’m going to make them for my wedding party to snack on through the day! I’ve been brainstorming and with only a week to go, these will be perfect!!!
I love that this only has 5 ingredients! Those are my favorite kind of recipes!
Butterscotch is one of my favorite flavors, and these look great!
You always come up with the best snack and dessert recipes 🙂
Those look so great!! We don’t have butterscotch chips here but I’m sure normal choc chips would work well too! 🙂
YUM…butterscotch…never would have thunk it. Looks delicious!
Yummmmy! I love butterscotch but always forget to add it in recipes!
Um, these look AWESOME! I can’t do butterscotch (I’m weird) but peanut butter chips, yes please!
These look AMAZING! Now I just want to call off work so I can make them immediately 😉
Would ya look at that? There are two ripe bananas staring me in the face, begging to be used in this recipe. 😉 I love banana bread, and I think the addition of coconut and butterscotch chips would be extra delicious!
hahah I went to my kitchen and thought the same exact thing!!
I do love banana bread and these look so simple and delish! I don’t usually bake with butterscotch chips (trying to watch my sugar) but I’m thinking I might have to make an exception.
I am not really a fan of butterscotch in general but I think these would be great with out them, maybe subbing in raisins?? That sounds fun!
Yum!! The pictures put me in the mood to bake during the long weekend 🙂
yummy! What a perfect and tasty little snack/treat!!!!
These oatmeal bites look so good! I love how simple they are too. 🙂
yum! Those sound really good! I love allowing bananas to self-sweeten banana bread, but there’s nothing wrong with a little butterscotch to add a little more sweetness… 😉
Num, Julie! These look amazing! Can’t wait to try them!
Yummy! I love anything with banana!
ooooh looks good- and super easy! i like recipes like this 🙂
You’ve sold me with that opener hahah! I love small bites like these and made the most shockingly delicious dark chocolate avocado truffles the other day. These look just as good!
There is nothing better than a simple and delicious meal! Looks amazing!
I love little bites! So easy to make and so so delicious! And I adore banana bread so win-win!
Yum! I will defiantly be making these this weekend with the kiddos!
So…how easy is that recipe! Thanks, will be using some tired banana’s this weekend to test it out!
.:Marta:.
Such a tasty looking ball of fun! Looks easy too, thanks for the recipe!
I’m really tempted to make these! I’ve never been a huge fan of butterscotch but it sounds reaaally good in this little recipe, actually.
These look sooo good! I’ll defiantly have to make these and play around with ingredients 🙂
Really tempted to make these…i might for an upcoming get together.
These sound AMAZING!!!!! I’m adding them to my recipe board on pinterest right now!
AHH yummmmm!!! These are all my favorite things together in one ball. I’m making these for sure.
These sound so easy to make! And I love anything with banana!
About how many oatmeal bites did this recipe make?
OMG I love you forever for this recipe!! I love love love banana bread but now that I can’t have wheat, I’m deprived. Definitely making these asap 🙂
Yesterday I was trying to come up with a unique biscotti flavor and ended up with banana butterscotch. How incredibly bizarre that you ostrd this today!
These bites remind me of those little oatmeal scotchies that you always see around Christmas time. I bet they are fantastic!
Um, this sounds amazing!!! I love butterscotch and coconut. I think I will be making these this weekend. Yum!!
those sound amazing! good idea.
Can’t wait to make these! Little bites of goodness are my favorites … a bit of sweetness without feeling weighed down later :). Thanks!
That actually sounds like something I can’t screw up. Hmm. Might have to make that. Butterscotch pieces might not make it all the way to the recipe, but they will make it to my stomach.
I love when recipes don’t have any added sugar because it makes it totally okay to add tons of chocolate chips 😀 Those never count as added sugar, right?!
These look delicious, super easy and great for fall!! I might have to try chocolate chips instead of butterscotch though because the hubs isn’t the biggest fan of butterscotch 🙂
