Banana Popsicles are the perfect dessert to make when you have ripe bananas to use up. Paired with peanut butter and a touch of honey, they taste better than store-bought ice pops!

Ingredients

3 large bananas (or 4 small ones)
½ cup natural peanut butter
1 cup milk of choice
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt (see notes)

Instructions

Peel the bananas and add them to the blender, along with the peanut butter, milk, honey, vanilla, and salt. Secure the lid and blend until very smooth. Stir the mixture to make sure no banana chunks were missed during the blending process.
Pour the batter into your popsicle mold. (affiliate link) The number of popsicles you end up making may vary, depending on the size of your molds. Place a popsicle stick in the middle of each mold, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
To remove the frozen popsicles, run the bottom side of the popsicle molds under hot running water for 20 seconds. They should pop right out! Store in a sealed container in the freezer until ready to serve.

Notes

Nutrition information is for 1 of 10 popsicles made with regular milk. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.

Salt note: The added salt is only necessary if you're using unsalted peanut butter. The peanut butter I tested this recipe with has only peanuts on the ingredient label, so there's no added sugar or oil.

Update Note: This recipe was updated in July 2024 to add an extra 1/2 cup of milk. This gives you 10 popsicles, rather than 8, and improves their texture! (I find they are easier to remove from the popsicle mold this way, too.) If you prefer the original recipe, simply use 1/2 cup of milk instead.
