Just three ingredients and a blender — that's all you need for this creamy, naturally sweet banana ice cream. Frozen bananas, peanut butter, and vanilla extract blend together in 2–3 minutes into a smooth, scoopable dessert with no ice cream machine and no added sugar.
Pro Tip
The riper and more spotted the bananas, the sweeter and creamier your ice cream will be. Freeze the sliced bananas for at least 2 hours until completely solid before blending — partially frozen bananas won't blend smooth.
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe, frozen bananas, sliced
- 2 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- optional Toppings: chocolate chips, honey, granola
