4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Banana

A creamy, dairy-free frozen treat from bananas and peanut butter — ready in minutes, no churn required.

# Needed ingredients:

→ Fruit

01 - 4 large ripe bananas, peeled and sliced

→ Nut butter

02 - 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

→ Sweetener

03 - 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional: substitute honey)

→ Flavoring

04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# How to make it:

01 - Arrange the sliced bananas in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer until completely solid, about 2 hours.

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

03 - Blend on high, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed, until the mixture is uniformly smooth and creamy.

04 - For soft-serve, serve immediately. For a firmer texture, transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe loaf pan, smooth the surface, and freeze until set, 1–2 hours.

05 - Scoop into bowls or cones and serve with optional toppings such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
