Ingredients

Cookie Dough Base

  • 2 ripe bananas

  • 1 cup almond flour

  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • Pinch of sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional)

  • 2–3 tablespoons mini unsweetened dark chocolate chips (optional)

Toppings

  • 1–2 bags Mission MightyMe Nutty Puffs, lightly crushed

  • Extra nut butter for drizzling

  • Freeze-dried strawberries or bananas (optional)

Directions

1. Mash the Bananas

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.

2. Mix the Cookie Dough

Add the almond flour, nut butter, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, and flaxseed. Stir until a thick, cookie dough-like mixture forms. Fold in chocolate chips if using.

3. Spread the Mixture

Line a small tray, plate, or baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mixture into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.

4. Add the Toppings

Sprinkle the crushed Nutty Puffs generously over the top and gently press them into the dough. Drizzle with additional nut butter and finish with freeze-dried fruit, if desired.

5. Freeze

Place in the freezer for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.

6. Break Into Bark

Remove from the freezer and cut or break into rustic bark pieces.

Storage Tips

Store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.

Mission MightyMe Tip

Keeping peanuts and tree nuts in your child's diet doesn't have to be complicated. Recipes like this make it easy (and delicious) to include these important foods in snack time, helping support early and frequent exposure as part of a varied diet.

Because when it comes to food allergy prevention, consistency matters—and tasty snacks make consistency a whole lot easier.
