Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon cornflour optional | corn starch
  • 2 Tablespoons water optional
  • 2 bananas frozen
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 Tablespoon honey
  • 1 pinch turmeric

Instructions

  • Combine the cornflour and water to make a slurry (optional)
  • Add all ingredients to a blender (including the corn starch slurry if using), blend until completely smooth.
  • Pour into popsicle moulds, freeze until solid
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Try adding chocolate chips or peanut butter (nut butter) to the mix
  • Cinnamon is a lovely flavor you can add to this recipe as well.
  • To release the popsicles from their molds I plunge them into jug of warm water for a few seconds, then they slide right out. 
  • Cornflour: Also known as corn starch, this is optional but does stop ice crystals from forming in the frozen mixture.
  • Bananas: The riper the sweeter and better your popsicle will be.
  • Milk: This can be substituted with yogurt or a dairy-free milk alternative. (almond milk, coconut milk)
  • Honey: If you are making these for a child under one year of age please do not use honey. Either skip using a sweetener entirely or use maple syrup as an alternative.
  • Turmeric: Optional, the frozen banana popsicles will be delicious with or without the turmeric.
