Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites
These bite-sized desserts are perfect to make ahead of time and store in the freezer. But we have a feeling they won’t last very long… they’re too delicious!

Pan Fried Cinnamon Bananas
This simple treat is easy to whip up, and it’s a great way to use up any ripe bananas you have lying around.

No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Cups
What’s better than a no-bake dessert? A healthy no-bake dessert! These peanut butter cups are sugar free and full of fiber.

Apple Pizzas
Sliced apples, honey, granola, coconut, or any of your favorite toppings come together for a tasty treat. Get creative with your dessert pizzas by using other fruits as the “crust,” such as pineapple or melon. You could even slice up kiwi for mini fruit pizzas!

Fresh Fruit
When all else fails, fruit is a quick and healthy dessert option. Eat it alone or pair it with peanut butter, dark chocolate, Greek yogurt, or even other fruits.
