This has been on our list to make for a while. The problem is that bananas go very fast in our house. So they never got to that really ripe state. I saved a few bananas for this recipe though and we made us some delicious banana peanut butter ice cream using this recipe.
So simple and so easy. Just frozen bananas and peanut butter. The consistency is just like ice cream. I liked it with the pb because I can’t take things tasting too banana-ey except an actual banana. Strange I know. Next time we do this I’m going to add a few chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs on top. Yum. I let miss J participate by helping cut up the banana and putting everything in the blender.
Do you have any good snack recipes that you make? I need some ideas. And of this topic, anyone else having a hard time with the time change? Usually this change doesn’t effect us but it really has this year. The girls keep sleeping in (and so do me and my hubby!). Miss E was my alarm clock, but I have to set an actual one tonight so we will get up on time. Plus miss J hasn’t really “caught up” since we did a sleep study for her on Sunday night. I’m hoping we get our schedule back down soon.

Also, adding a dash of vanilla seems to take some of the banana flavor away too, and makes it more like vanilla soft-serve.

March 14, 2013 at 5:26 pmThis sounds delicious, and I’m definitely going to try it. Last night I actually made cookies with just bananas and oats and they were wonderful! I did add mini chocolate chips and those were even BETTER.

March 17, 2013 at 8:31 pmYum! Thanks – this is such a great idea and surprisingly good! I know you told me so, but I didn’t fully believe it until I tasted it for myself. Wow!!! I think I’ll try a bit of vanilla next time like Denita suggested too! Thanks!!!
