Banana Popsicles
Banana popsicles are a creamy, sweet, and refreshing frozen treat. They are also a healthy option, using all-natural ingredients like bananas, maple syrup, and milk.
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup milk 6 oz. (use dairy-free milk to make it dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: melted chocolate and chopped walnuts or pecans for dipping
Instructions
- Place all ingredients (Bananas, maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract) in a blender.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour into popsicle molds and freeze for 8 hours, or overnight.
- Release popsicles from the mold by running the outside of the mold under warm running water for 5-10 seconds.
- Optional: Melt chocolate. Dip the top of each popsicle into the chocolate and sprinkle with chopped walnuts.
Notes
- This recipe makes enough to fill 6 large popsicle molds. You may get more or less popsicles depending on the size of your molds.
- This recipe can be dairy-free and vegan if you use plant-based milk in place of dairy milk.
- Be sure to use ripe bananas that are no longer green.
- Homemade popsicles can be stored, frozen, for up to 2 weeks. They stay fresher longer if left in the molds. If you remove them from the molds, be sure to wrap each well in plastic wrap.
