Banana bread ice cream combines all the sweet, comforting flavors we love into a summertime treat. Soft chunks of fresh banana bread are folded into this healthier ice cream for a rich and decadent treat that won't weigh you down. It's simple to make and ready in just 10 minutes!
Add the bananas, almond butter, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice to your high-powered blender or food processor. If you're using a food processor, add 2 tablespoons of milk.
3 large bananas, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, 2 tablespoons almond butter
Blend on high until totally smooth, stopping to scrape the sides a few times. If you're using a blender, you'll want to use the tamper to push the bananas down.
Transfer your soft ice cream to a freezer-proof container and, if using, stir in the banana bread pieces and chocolate chips. Either serve right away as soft-serve ice cream (the best!) or freeze for later.
1 slice banana bread cut into pieces, ¼ cup chocolate chips
Notes
We use our homemade pumpkin pie spice in this recipe as it is a mix of all the familiar baking spices. If you don't have some in your pantry, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
