Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- to taste optional mix-ins (e.g., chocolate chips, crushed nuts)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into chunks for easy blending.
In a blender, combine the banana chunks, milk, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
Blend the mixture until completely smooth.
Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a little more honey or maple syrup.
If using mix-ins like chocolate chips or crushed nuts, gently fold them into the blended mixture using a spoon.
Pour the mixture evenly into popsicle molds, leaving a little space at the top for expansion.
Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
Place the molds in the freezer and freeze for at least 4-6 hours or until completely solid.
To remove the popsicles, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to loosen them, then gently pull them out.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
