2-ingredient, Healthy, Vegan, Popsicles (Banana, Strawberry Banana, and Chocolate)

So I’m not sure about where you guys are from, but here in PA it’s nice and HOT!!! Its 86 with a real feel of 97. I wanted to make something that was easy, refreshing, and didn’t require the oven. Thus, these popsicles.

You can obviously make them however you want, and add what you want, I thought of adding peanut butter to the bottom of the chocolate ones, but alas I didn’t. You can even make other flavors if you’d like. I’ll probably make chocolate peanut butter ones, and peanut butter ones next….because you all know my love for all things peanut butter, AND peanut butter and chocolate together!

UPDATE: Had one of the Chocolate ones today and texture is on point! They’re nice and smooth, not icey. Also the peanuts on the bottom adds a nice crunch and I would definitely recommend!

This is a picture of me asking my mom if she had licked the popsicle, hahaha!! What I do, is take a picture of my mom first, to get the lighting right. Then she can take the picture of me and everything is set up. I shoot in manual on my camera, so it can be difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Peanut butter, banana bars (Vegan option)

One of my all time favorite combos EVER, Besides chocolate and peanut butter of course. Peanut butter, banana sandwiches are something I’ve eaten since as long as I remember. So, I wanted to make a dessert with the same combo. It turned out just like I imagined, and YUMMO!!

My cousin had just made this peanut butter caramel sauce that she let me try, and I knew it would be perfect for this dessert I wanted to make. I made the same crust I used for my Chocolate, Pecan Bars (Low-Carb, THM) I linked a caramel sauce, but the one I made it So MuCh BeTtEr!!!

Now…moving on to the fried bananas. All you need is some coconut oil for frying, and some cinnamon for sprinkling on top of them. Honestly they’re a snack all on their own. They taste like banana bread.

These also go great on oatmeal, bread, yogurt, and so many other things!! Also, let’s talk about this skillet pan. I use it for SO MANY things. It’s nice and flat, so you don’t gotta go at a weird angle to flip things, and no sides getting in the way. (I linked on similar because I couldn’t find the exact one)

Now I’m gonna tell you, this tastes best fresh and warm. It’s still delicious the next day, or chilled. You could warm it in the microwave for 30 seconds too.
