4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana

Dairy-free frozen treat: bananas and peanut butter blended for soft-serve or firmer scoops after a short chill.

# What You Need:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced

→ Nut Butter

02 - 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

→ Sweetener

03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey, optional)

→ Flavor Enhancer

04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How To Make It:

01 - Place the sliced bananas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely solid.

02 - Add frozen banana slices, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a food processor or high-powered blender.

03 - Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

04 - For soft-serve texture, serve immediately. For a firmer ice cream, transfer the mixture to a loaf pan, smooth the top, and freeze for an additional 1–2 hours.

05 - Scoop and enjoy!

# Expert Advice:

01 -

You get all the soft, lush texture of ice cream with only a few wholesome basics.
It’s lightning quick to prep—you’ll spend more time waiting for the freezer than working in the kitchen.

02 -

Avoid overcrowding the food processor—doing so leaves uneven chunks that resist blending smooth.
Working quickly with frozen bananas prevents the dreaded refreeze iciness that can dull the creamy texture.

03 -

For plush, cloud-like consistency, blend in short bursts and stop as soon as the mixture turns creamy.
If your bananas clump or the blender stalls, a tablespoon of oat milk can coax things along without watering down the flavor.
