no-bake peanut butter banana fudge (protein-packed)
if you love peanut butter and bananas, this no-bake peanut butter banana fudge is going to be your new favorite treat.
it’s packed with plant-based protein, naturally sweet from freeze-dried bananas, and super creamy thanks to runny peanut butter.
this recipe is perfect for when you’re craving something sweet, but want to keep it wholesome and satisfying.

taste and texture
this fudge is rich, peanut buttery, and perfectly sweet with a big punch of banana flavor.
the texture is soft, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth — not icy or hard like some frozen snacks.
it’s smooth and sliceable straight from the fridge, or extra firm and fudgy from the freezer.
the freeze-dried bananas give it a natural fruitiness without the moisture of fresh bananas, keeping the texture spot on.
how to make it
it all comes together in one bowl with just a few ingredients: runny peanut butter, a bag of freeze-dried bananas, flaxseed for structure, vanilla protein powder, vanilla bean paste, and almond milk.
the bananas are crushed into powder or small flakes, then everything is mixed together until thick and smooth.
press the mixture into a pan, freeze until firm, slice, and enjoy.

substitutions
- you can use almond butter or cashew butter instead of peanut butter if you prefer a milder flavor.
- any plant-based protein powder will work — just make sure it’s one you like the taste of.
- swap almond milk for oat milk, soy milk, or even coconut milk (carton, not canned) for a slightly different vibe.
- if you don’t have vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract works just fine.
add-in options
- stir in mini dairy-free chocolate chips for extra indulgence
- sprinkle in chopped peanuts or almonds for crunch
- swirl in a spoonful of date caramel or melted dark chocolate before freezing
- want to get fancy? top each square with a slice of fresh banana just before serving for extra banana flavor and a pretty finish
storage
store the fudge in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
for longer storage, keep it in the freezer for up to a month — just let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before eating.
it’s the perfect make-ahead treat for when you want something quick, nourishing, and delicious.
