Banana Ice Cream

For those who know me, I am pretty stingy with the amount of sugar I give my kids. So when I saw this banana-only recipe for "ice cream", I knew I had to try it!

First, we sliced up over-ripe bananas and put them on the baking sheet. Then stick the tray in the freezer for a hour or so. The best part of this was that it was great for Aiden to practice cutting (again, sneaky fine-motor skills practice!), and he could do it independently.

After the bananas are frozen, put them in a blender or food processor, and alternate between blending and scraping the sides of the blender.

Keep alternating until bananas are thick and creamy like soft serve. Because everything tastes better with peanut butter, we had to add some! You could also add in chocolate syrup or chips at this point. 

We couldn't wait, so we ate it right then. However, you could refreeze so the consistency is closer to ice cream. Then, scoop and serve.
