1 Peel bananas then mash in a large mixing bowl.

2 Stir in the remaining ingredients and mix until mixture is smooth.

3 Spoon mixture into small bowls or cups and freeze for 2 hours. Serve this yummy frozen treat on its own, or with in-season berries.

Variations

Use salt-free almond butter instead of peanut butter.
As a special treat, add 4 teaspoons chocolate chips just before freezing.

HFG tip

This ice cream also makes a tasty sandwich filling (but don’t freeze it).
What is peanut butter made of? If you said crushed peanuts, think again. Some manufacturers add oil, salt, sugar and preservatives so check the ingredients list.
