These NO BAKE maple pancake bites are a fun twist on ordinary pancakes. Plus a great way to use up your favorite pancake batter without having to cook, whether it be buttermilk batter or vegan pancake batter. All you need is maple syrup, nut butter, and banana chips!
Well hello weekend! Goodness, I never post on a weekend. Well, rarely. But this recipe couldn’t wait. In fact, I was itching to get it up. You see, I have been going through all my old healthy bite recipes from YEARS ago. I am pretty sure I have about 75 flavors. No joke! And I’m still working on one big BOOK OF BITES!
But some of these old pictures are making me cringe. It’s not that the picture is terrible, okay maybe just a little, but what makes me cringe is that the picture just doesn’t give the healthy bite any justice. Ya know? I mean, it kinda looks like a ball of dough. LOL! Gotta love the old iPhone pics.
So today, I’m sharing the REVAMPED version of my personal pancake bite. Oh goodness, so perfect for pancake Sunday, right? And you don’t even have to bust out the griddle. WINNING!
What I love about these bites is that they are so versatile. You can really use any flavor of pancake batter (vegan or paleo or whatever) and combine it with your favorite pancake mix-ins or toppings.
With these bites, I decided to go with the Flapjacked Banana Hazelnut pancake batter and then mix in crushed banana chips and Nuttzo nut butter. Which also had bits of hazelnut and cashew nut in it. Mix it all up with maple syrup, butter extract, and vanilla protein to coat the topping and you’ve got one perfect pancake bite. NO LIE!

Description
Maple Banana Pancake Bites {with Vegan Option}
Ingredients
- ½ cup Pancake Batter (I used flapjacked banana hazelnut batter)
- ¼ cup banana Chips (crushed)
- ⅓ cup almond meal/coconut flour/ or even protein powder
- ½ cup Nut butter (I used creamy Nuttzo)
- ¼ to ⅓ cup maple syrup.
- ½ tsp butter extract
- ½ to 1 teaspoon Maple extract (or vanilla if you can’t find maple)
- Mix it up with these add ins – 3-4 tablespoon of one of the following Chocolate Chips, dried fruit, trail mix, cinnamon, cocoa, granola, or chopped nuts!
Instructions
- Blend banana chips in food processor. Transfer into a large bowl and add in all the remaining ingredients with the syrup being the last . Add your extracts and and any other add ins. Mix well (I use my hands) then roll into bite size balls. Coat bites (once frozen) with extra vanilla protein or batter of choice. Could even use cocoa or peanut flour to coat.
- Makes about 18-20 balls. Freeze or keep in refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
Note: You might have to add more nut butter or maple syrup depending on what flour you use (coconut, almond, etc).

Here are few more round ups that will sharpen your NO BAKE BITE making skills.
Cheers to weekend and pancake Saturday… or SUNDAY!
You know I approve of anything with bananas, yes? Amazing! I need some of your bites; the food kind of course, although I bet the kiwi gets tons of love nips.
I miss your healthy bites so much!! Mine never are as good 😉 These look fantastic!! I am drooling!
These look so incredibly soft and delicious…YUM. And crushed banana chips?! Genius.
You had me at Nuttzo. I just happen to have protein pancake mix. I wish I would have seen this for meal prep yesterday. On the menu for next week.
these look super yummy! I just made a recipe too with crushed banana chips — seriously!
I am in LOVE with this recipe! Love that you can use pancake batter and that they have added protein. SO YUM! Pinned. 🙂
Yes!! Because let’s face it. I’m horrible at flipping pancakes
What type of food processor do you recommend? I have killed a few in my life!
Me too! Haha. I now use a vitamix or blend tech
Yum!! I don’t have any protein pancake mix, but now I want to get some so that I can make these 🙂
I have those old pictures that make me cringe as well. But these? These look ah.maze.ing. And the best part is that there’s no flipping required 😀
i dont ever remember seeing a cringe worthy pic on your site. But i know what you mean. we are our own worst critics. and yes, i stink at flipping pancakes. but rolling balls? yes, i can do that LOL! Love you

I’m totally doing this. I have SO MUCH protein pancake mix and I don’t actually like the mix for pancakes. Thanks brother.
same. plus i like balls…err bites.
I absolutely adore your fresh photo makeover! They are as satisfying to the eye as I know they would be to eat!
There’s just something about contrasting textures that is so appealing to me. You’ve managed to capture the senses—beyond just taste. I wish I had this talent, but like anything, I know it takes practice and time.
I can’t wait for a mega bite book!!
thank you! It’s definitely a learning process, but I know have major talent. Keep at it! one day at time, right? practice practice. And i still don’t like all my pictures, haha.
I can’t imagine you ever taking a bad picture! But I know what you mean about looking back on old ones! I cringe at most of my older food pics. I’ve been thinking of updating some of my older recipes! I think it’s a great idea and I absolutely love this flavor, so glad you did 🙂
Trust me, they were bad haha
Like you said these are so versatile!! Love them!
and you don’t have to scrub the griddle after! haha
