White Chocolate Banana Bark Recipe (Dairy-Free)

Why You’ll Love This Banana Bark Recipe

You may have seen the viral banana bark recipe making its rounds around social media, and I had to try my hand at a very Veggiekins version– with matcha! Now this is a totally optional ingredient, but it adds both flavor and the perfect pick-me-up (it has a little caffeine!). If you’re a matcha lover like me– don’t miss out on these recipes: Strawberry Matcha Quinoa Crunch Bites, Vegan Butter Mochi Cake, or these Matcha Rice Krispie Treats! 

This recipe is super flexible, and while I made mine vegan (of course) you can always swap the vegan white chocolate for vegan dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips depending on your preferences. The nut butter is also a choose-your-own-adventure– make this chocolate peanut butter banana bark, or use almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter instead. 

This fun treat will curb any sweet tooth and is the perfect thing to have on hand whenever you need a snack or dessert! It’s no wonder it became a viral recipe!

Plus, you can never have enough banana treats (ahem, Chocolate Banana Quinoa Bites, Vegan Banana Pudding, or this super popular Banana Jam!

Ingredient Notes

• ripe bananas: Layers of banana slices at the bottom of this bark add sweetness and nutrition to this delicious treat. 
• creamy nut butter: Any nut butter will work here! Almond butter, cashew butter, or creamy peanut butter. If you use natural peanut butter, I recommend using a “no-stir” option. If you’re looking for a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter. 
• vegan white chocolate: You could also make this with vegan dark chocolate chips if preferred. 
• ceremonial-grade matcha powder (optional): As you know, I’m matcha-obsessed. You can omit this if preferred, but I think it adds amazing flavor! 
• flaky sea salt: A little flaky salt adds the finishing touches! 

See exact ingredient amounts in the recipe card below. 

Step 3: Spread your nut butter of choice all over the sliced bananas.

Step 4: Melt down vegan white chocolate in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring in between, until fully melted. Sift in matcha powder and stir to combine (optional). 

Step 5: Drizzle the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer (or other nut butter), using a spatula to smooth and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle with salt if using.

Step 6: Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and let it chill for 1 hour or until it is firm to the touch. To enjoy, break up the bark with your hands to create bite-sized pieces.
