Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free milk)
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)
- fresh fruit or granola (optional topping)
Instructions
Peel the ripe bananas and slice them into coins. Place the banana slices in a single layer on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the banana slices for at least 2-3 hours, or until completely frozen.
Once the bananas are frozen, transfer them to a high-power blender or food processor.
Add the milk, peanut butter, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and cinnamon to the blender or processor.
Blend the mixture on high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the consistency is smooth and creamy like ice cream.
If the blender struggles, add a small splash of milk at a time to help it along, but be careful not to add too much to maintain a thick, ice cream-like texture.
Once blended, stir in the dark chocolate chips if desired.
Scoop the banana ice cream into bowls and top with fresh fruit or granola for extra flavor and texture, if preferred.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy and sneaky banana breakfast ice cream!
