Quick 2 Ingredient Frozen Bananas and Maple Syrup that's it! 

Peel and slice frozen bananas making sure to work quickly so they don't thaw out. Prepping the bananas first and freezing makes this an easier snack 


Add frozen banana slices to blender


Blending until half way smooth, around 1-2 mins 


Blend for another minute or until fully combined and creamy soft. Enjoy immediately or freeze in glass dish with lid for a perfect sweet snack 

Ingredients

  • 4 frozen Bananas
  • 1/4 cup of maple syrup
  • Optional add chocolate chips to make this a chunky monkey ice-cream 


Instructions

  1. Cut 4 bananas into medium slices, place on lined baking tray slightly apart not touching. For a couple of hours then store them in a Ziplock bag for at least 24 hours. 
  2. Empty the frozen bananas into the food blender until almost smooth.
  3. Add the maple syrup at this stage then blend again until smooth and combined.
  4. Either eat immediately or place in a glass lid storage container. All ready for a sweet craving, without the guilt! 


Equipment 

  • Food processer
  • Sharp knife
  • ziplock bag (for storing cut bananas)


Note

You will need to remember to freeze the bananas. I find if you peel and chop the banana before freezing its best. As working with peeling and cutting frozen bananas can be finger freezing.

Freeze bananas for at least 24hours before making this recipe.

About us

The reason I started my kids meals blog was as a sharing platform for a easy way to share my recipes with family and friends. My hopes and dreams are for it to evolve into a safe and healthy way for other mummies to get inspiration and knowledge that home cooked foods don't need to be in the too hard basket. I make only easy, quick recipes from everyday ingredients you have in your pantry. I must declare that some of my recipes are in fact more costly than shop bought varieties. However, we eat clean as possible and all our recipes are based on gluten free, dairy free and reduced level refined sugar-free. We stopped buying packaged foods for nearly 10 years, best decision I have ever made!    

A thing I would like to break apart for any Mum. Is that of Mum guilt it is far to incredibly present ,and is far too rooted within societal norms, to be perfect parent. That insane pressure of picture perfect snacks and lunches, hopefully will be lightened here, I am just a mum sharing my many trial and errors of nearly 10 years of epic fails in the kitchen testing 100's of recipes and tweaking them to be healthier ways to feed my family. 

My dreams are that this blog will reach other mummies out there seeking a better way to feed their growing kids. Without all the added nasty ingredients loaded in ultra-processed packet snacks and convenience foods. Which are so cleverly marketed to our kids who end up craving them. Food in my world is home baked from scratch in my kitchen, clean and nutritious as physically possible to get hold of, as where we live living in New Zealand it is a small country with limited suppliers of clean, unprocessed produce. So the only alternative to most ingredients are to ship them in, which on a budget is not an easy or cost effective task for some.    

I hope you enjoy our families favorite homemade recipes we only add recipes we actually eat regularly. I will upload new recipes weekly. We are a family of 3 who seek alternative healthier food than packet food. With emphasis on home made food with love. 

Love from my kitchen to yours.
