Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 ripe bananas, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter (no added sugar or oils)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons milk or milk alternative (such as almond or oat milk)

Optional Add-Ins

  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for extra sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or mini chocolate chips (for chocolate twist)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or granola (for added crunch)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (for superfood boost)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (for frozen yogurt style, if dairy is acceptable)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bananas: Peel and slice ripe bananas into small chunks. Freeze the banana slices for at least 2 hours or until solid to ensure extra creaminess.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Place frozen banana slices, creamy peanut butter, a splash of milk or milk alternative, and vanilla extract into a food processor or high-speed blender.
  3. Process Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and resembles ice cream texture, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides for an even blend.
  4. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add more milk gradually. For firmer ice cream, transfer the mixture to a container and freeze for 1-2 hours before serving.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Scoop the homemade Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream into bowls or cones, add desired toppings, and enjoy your refreshing frozen treat.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creaminess.
  • Freeze bananas sliced for smooth blending without chunks.
  • Choose creamy peanut butter over chunky for the best texture.
  • Don’t skip or reduce vanilla extract as it enhances flavor depth.
  • Blend in stages or pulse to prevent overheating and maintain texture.
