It’s summer time, and I like to try to make it easy and fun. For kids of any age, and all year-round, breakfast is definitely more fun when it’s labeled “ice cream.”
This recipe feels right and tastes even better. It’s banana-based, dairy-free (and vegan), with no added processed sugars. It’s a way to pretend I’m serving ice cream for breakfast, made with three simple ingredients.
This post from my blog was originally published in 2014.
I’m sure you’ll love this dessert anytime of the day. I like to offer it once in a while, as a breakfast alternative since it’s so easy.
Now a days, you can make or find fresh-ground nut butters in the store. I recommend this so that there is no added sugar. I’m offering sunflower seed butter because all of my recipes are nut-free and we do not use soy-based-butters at home.
Mili’s Sweets “Ice Cream For Breakfast” Recipe
Here’s what you’ll need:
2-3 ripe bananas
3 tablespoons sunflower seed butter (smooth)
2 tablespoons honey
(As most of you know, I only share recipes that are free of peanuts and tree nuts, because it’s the only way I prepare food, due to my son’s allergies. Sun butter is my son’s favorite option for a nut-free spread. This is the back-up in my pantry, in case I run out of the sunflower seed butter spread that I make for our family.)
Here’s what you’ll do:
Slice ripe bananas and place into your food processor with the sun butter and honey.
Mix for 10-20 seconds, until most of the bananas are smooth.
Spoon the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze for 6 hours, or overnight.
Scoop and enjoy!
