Easy Banana Popsicles

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I feel like we always have bananas that are about to turn on our kitchen counter. In an effort to waste less food (and be a bit more creative in the kitchen), my daughter and I came up with these easy banana popsicles!

Banana Popsicles

Did you know almost 1.4 million bananas are wasted every day? We were on a mission to stop letting our ripe bananas go to waste. So, we came up with this treat!

We really love the classic combo of bananas and peanut butter so we decided these frozen banana popsicles would be dipped in peanut butter. To finish them off, we rolled them in sprinkles!

How to Make Banana Popscicles

The first step in making your frozen treats is to peel and cut bananas in half. Then, insert a popsicle stick into the bottom of each one.

Once the sticks are inserted, place them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and place them in the freezer for about 2 hours so they are nice and frozen.

TIP: Make sure the bananas are not touching each other in the freezer or they will freeze connected.

Next, grab a tall drinking glass and fill it ¾ full with peanut butter and 1tsp of vegetable oil. Microwave the peanut butter until it is melted. Be careful, the glass will be very hot!

You're going to dip each banana into the glass full of peanut butter so that's it's evenly coated.

Once covered in peanut butter, add the sprinkles by hand to each banana if desired.

Return to the parchment lined baking sheet.

Place them back into the freezer for at least an hour so the peanut butter hardens.

When you're ready to enjoy, just grab one from the freezer and dig in! We both loved these healthy treats and I know we won't be letting our bananas go to waist knowing how simple it is to make these.

We plan to make these frozen banana popsicles all summer long and are even thinking of other variations to try.

Other Banana Popsicles to Try

  • Dipped in Chocolate
  • Rolled in crushed peanuts or coconut flakes
  • Drizzled instead of dipped (maybe even with white chocolate!)
