Can I use other types of fruit in this recipe?

Frozen bananas work the best for banana nice cream, but you can also use frozen mango chunks for your healthy ice cream.

Can I use different kinds of nut or seed butter?

Absolutely! Almond butter works great in this. For a nut-free version, try sunflower seed butter.

Can I make this in a blender?

Yes, but you need to use a high-speed blender or other type of powerful blender that has a tamper. You will also need to add at least 1-2 tablespoons of a liquid such as almond milk or coconut milk.

Can I leave out the maple syrup?

Yes, you can leave out the sweetener for a healthy treat with no added sugar. Or, if you want to use a whole food sweetener, you can use date syrup or 2-3 pitted dates.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Combine the frozen banana chunks, maple syrup, and peanut butter in the base of a food processor.
Lock on the lid and turn on high. Let the processor run for a few minutes, or until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
Resist the temptation to add liquid to the food processor. You’ll need to run it for a good 4-5 minutes until the bananas start to break down and form the soft serve consistency.
Serve immediately.

Notes

This ice cream recipe is best served immediately after making it. Any leftovers will freeze very hard. If you do freeze it, you may need to let it sit on the countertop for up to 10 minutes to soften.
Want a chocolate peanut butter version? Just add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the mixture before you blend.
You can also make a chocolate chip version by adding a handful of chocolate chips to the food processor when it’s almost done processing.
Be sure to use a natural peanut butter. Regular peanut butter is often made with lots of added sugars and oils.
If you prefer to use dates to sweeten the ice cream rather than maple syrup, you can use 2-3 pitted dates. You may want to soften them in hot water before adding to the food processor (be sure to drain the hot water). You can also use 1-2 tablespoons of date syrup instead of the whole dates.
