Nutella Banana Popsicles Gluten Free

I usually don’t post recipes, but I wanted to share one I created this weekend out of necessity. I was making baby food and I ran out of storage containers and had two ripe bananas leftover, so I made Nutella Banana Popsicles.

I did not have a recipe for it, but after creating my concoction, I decided to see if a recipe already existed.  Low and behold you can find several recipes  for Nutella Banana Popsicles, but they all called for milk, cool whip or some other variation. I used no milk because I did not even consider it, but I am sure the other recipes taste as good or better.

FYI, these were a big hit with my 3 yrs old.  Furthermore, for all the people that workout, this is a great recovery food too.

NUTELLA BANANA POPSICLES GLUTEN FREE

  • 2 medium ripe bananas

Yields 6 Popsicles

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl warm up three tablespoons of Nutella in the microwave for 30 seconds.
  2. Mash the bananas up in a blender or with a fork.  I just used a fork because my bananas were so ripe.
  3. Add the banana into the Nutella and mix well.
  4. Add protein powder if you so desire.
  5. Pour the mix into 6 Popsicle containers.
  6. Freeze at a minimum for six hours, but overnight might just be easier.
