These 2-ingredient non-naughty Banana Pops (or another option is to make 3 ingredients banana pops by adding full fat Greek yogurt to the recipe) are completely natural (including the wood stick which bub holds onto). No processed or added sugars, no preservatives... Who needs to buy ice-cream or ice-lollies for their bub, when you can make these delicious creamy ice-creams at home! These pops are great for babyledweaners from 6mo+ easy to hold, they are great for teething babies and are a nice sweet snack on a hot day! Note: if bub can't hold the stick in his fist, remove the stick and just serve the frozen banana pop on its own! Another texture to feel and taste.
Ingredients
- 1x Banana (serves 3 pops)
- 2x tablespoons of desiccated coconut (or can use almond flour or flaxseed meal)
- *Additional option: 3x tablespoons of full fat Greek yoghurt or any nut butter i.e. peanut butter)
- ** you will need to buy wooden ice-cream sticks (I bought mine from amazon, most art shops have these)
Directions
- Step 1 Cut 1x banana up into 3 even pieces
- Step 2 Pour the coconut out onto a flat plate then roll each piece of banana into the coconut until covered. (*if using yoghurt or nut butters dip each piece of banana into the yoghurt then the coconut/butter)
- Step 3 Push a wooden ice-cream stick into the middle of each banana (about 3/4 of the way in)
- Step 4 Place all the pops laying flat onto a plate or tray and ‘dry freeze’ (freeze in the open air in the freezer for at least 2hrs) then remove all pops and place them into a zip-lock freezer bag. Dry freezing is great so the pops don’t stick together. For harder pops leave over night. For creamier softer pops take out after 2hrs to eat. These are great to keep in the freezer for cool snacks for bub or for bub when teething. These are also great snacks for breastfeeding or busy mummas! Purchase wooden sticks here
