4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana Ice

Creamy dairy-free frozen treat of bananas and peanut butter, blended for a quick, healthy dessert.

# What You'll 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 Steps:

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 Tips:

01 -

You’ll be amazed how creamy this gets—no fancy equipment or dairy required.
It’s the kind of recipe that makes late-night sweet cravings feel a little less guilty (and a lot more fun).

02 -

Trying to blend bananas before they’re fully frozen makes the texture gloopy and never quite right.
The first time I added vanilla extract, it went from “nice” to “wow” in one quick taste test.

03 -

Scraping down your blender bowl often is the key to that dreamy, scoopable texture.
Freezing in a shallow container makes everything freeze and thaw more evenly—less wrestling required!
