This past week I have had many ideas for Food Friday recipes. I had a winner recipe all picked out and ready to go, when all of a sudden I found myself staring down a massive pile of overripe bananas. The obvious choice for overripe bananas is a batch of muffins or loaf of banana bread, but I always find that I am still left with a ton of bananas even after making these labor-intensive (read: too many messy dishes) baking recipe.
Luckily I remembered reading about the now famous one-ingredient ice cream, made using only frozen bananas. Sure, it is the winter, but this recipe could turn into something amazing that I can make time and time again. If it were actually as easy as it sounds.
After whipping up a batch rather quickly, I am here to confess that one-ingredient banana ice cream really is all it’s cracked up to be. It is so simple! And healthy! And – you can add different ingredients to it to spruce it up (hello chocolate chips).
Ingredients
6-8 overripe bananas
Instructions
- Peel bananas and slice down the middle or cut into chunk. Lay on wax/parchment paper and freeze
- 2+ hours later process in food processor until smooth
(Optional: add chocolate chips, peanut butter, nutella, etc once smooth!)
- Refreeze and scoop out, or serve immediately
Yield: 6 Cups Ice Cream
