Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles (V+GF): Just 6 ingredients to creamy, delicious chocolate peanut butter popsicles that taste like an ice cream sundae. Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free.
Happy Summer everyone! Who else is feeling ridiculously happy about the summertime vibes?
Anyone else bringing out their floral print jumpsuits? (I had to switch out my fruit print jumpsuit for the summer version). How about those red polka dot bikinis we discussed earlier? And maybe, just maybe, you’re dusting off those super cute got-em-on-day-after-Christmas-sale discount sunglasses from the back of your foyer junk drawer?
Most importantly, anyone having a hankering for chocolate peanut butter banana popsicles? Yes, that was a mouthful to type. I mean… oh, you know what I mean!
Uh… back to the summer vibes. To celebrate, I thought now would be a good time to bring out them popsicles. After all, what says summer more than popsicles? You know, besides swimming pools, barbecues, county fairs, swimsuits, sunglasses, picnics, pink lemonade… okay, fine. Lots of things say summer, but this is by far one of the best things.
That you can eat. What could be better than that?
Just one post ago, I shared with you my Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothies. Oh, how time flies. Those were the days, right? <– I have no clue why I’m asking so many questions today. Anyone else feeling social? 🙂 There I go again. *Blushing.
Anywho, when Erik and I were gulping down every last drop of those seriously delicious smoothies, it hit us, why not freeze these guys? We’ve always been interested in the fine art of popsicle-making, however, loathe to actually purchase popsicles. We’re funny that way.
We finally took the jump and bought a popsicle maker. Can I just say, BEST. PURCHASE. EVER. Duuuuude. Duuuuudette. Homeslice… (Okay, now I want pizza.)
But this thing… it’s seriously one of the best inventions ever. Besides the infamous fan-whisk, of course. Like, any flavor combo you can imagine can be put into here! Erik and I have actually been discussing the merits of making an avocado coconut cream popsicle, but the logistics got all funny and then we got sleepy. Summer siesta time, amiriiight?
In the mean time, spoiler alert!, we’ve been testing A LOT of popsicle recipes. For now, enjoy our first creation: the chocolate, peanut butter, banana lover’s dream. And, YES, I will be making an over-the-top version of this treat. Stay tuned!
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles are:
- made with just 6 simple ingredients
- creamy, chocolatey and so many more delicious ys
- vegan and gluten free
- easy to prepare, in just a few minutes
- mostly difficult only due to waiting for them to freeze!
- banana split-tasty
- secretly protein-rich and full of the good stuff
What do you think? What popsicle flavors are you looking forward to? Do you have a popsicle maker? <–Yup, there I go with all of the questions again. What can I say? The summer makes me energetic!
Kick off the summer by whipping up a batch of these! I’ll see you by the pool. 🙂

Pin RecipeDescription
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles (V+GF): Just 6 ingredients to creamy, delicious chocolate peanut butter popsicles that taste like an ice cream sundae. Vegan and Gluten Free.
Ingredients
- 4 medium bananas, sliced and frozen
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons natural, unsalted peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Add bananas and almond milk into a blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as necessary. Add peanut butter. Blend until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, maple syrup and coconut oil to make chocolate syrup. Whisk until smooth and shiny, like melted chocolate.
- Pour chocolate syrup into the blender. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
- Pour this mixture into a popsicle mold, leaving about 1/4 inch of space for the mixture to expand in the freezer. Freeze for 6-8 hours.
- Remove popsicle mold from freezer. Allow to thaw for about a minute. Run popsicle mold under just slightly lukewarm water for a few seconds. Wiggle the mold a bit. Set popsicle mold on a flat surface and wiggle the popsicles out. Enjoy!
Notes
– Wrap individual popsicles in wax paper or parchment paper. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 weeks.

(#myspringcleaningistakingwaytoolong) But, as you can see – the windows could not keep me away from this post! I need molds! Where’d you get yours? Where do you think Chey got hers? Is your spring cleaning finished? Uh-oh- see what you started?! Have a great weekend, my friend! xo

June 3, 2016 at 11:30 amThanks Mira! Can’t wait to hear what you think of them. 🙂
Laura ~ RYG says
June 3, 2016 at 6:41 amDemeter these look absolutely delicious! Love how there’s only 6 ingredients, no fake, phony junk. And you already know the PB & chocolate combo can’t be beat =) Have a great weekend.
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
June 3, 2016 at 11:30 amThanks so much Laura! You really can’t beat that combo. 😉 Have a great weekend too, friend!
Evi @ greenevi says
June 3, 2016 at 6:31 amHappy summer! Happy popsicle time!
I make a lot of fruity popsicles in the summer, but somehow I never thought of making a not water based one (aka blended berries :D). It’s a big mistake, coz these creamy, “heavier” ones are always my favourites!
I can’t wait to make these here. The smoothie was mega delicious, so it could only be better when frozen.
BTW I still think the fruity jumpsuit is cooler, plus represents summer more than a floral one….but whatever!

Demeter | Beaming Baker says
June 3, 2016 at 11:28 amSo much happiness, so little time! 🙂 Oh, Evi… you would love these! So creamy and delish. When it’s frozen, the chocolate + pb become even tastier–it’s kinda ridic how yummy they get. 😉 Fruity jumpsuit: Oh, you SO would! Lol. Yeah, I’m like… floral print sounds more adult tho. But that’s just lame, right? 😉 Thanks E! xo
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
June 2, 2016 at 3:43 pmOkay, not going to lie.. I’m a little freaked out you posted this today because my popsicle mold JUST arrived at my doorstep. Today. How weird is that!! Do you have cameras installed at the SuBourbon Country Cottage??? 😉 I already knew we were cut from the same cloth, but now it is seriously apparent – we be sistah’s from different mistah’s alright! <3 These creamy pops on a stick look fabulously delicious, Demeter! The idea of turning your smoothie into a popsicle treat is a fan-dang-tastic one! Really when the weather is hot, turning all the things into a frozen treat is bomb! Can't wait to see what else you turn into a popsicle, my sweets! Pinned! Cheers! xoxox

June 3, 2016 at 11:26 amLOL!!! Soul sisters or something! I think that sounds better than Weird Cloth Sisters, don’t you think? 🙂 Oh, I’m so friggin excited that you got a popsicle mold. It’s like the best thing ever! 🙂 Can’t wait to see what you whip up too! Or… should I just guess, intrinsically? Lolol. Have a great weekend, my dear! Thanks for pinning + giving me a good chuckle, as always. xo
Beverley @ Born to Sweat says
June 2, 2016 at 2:35 pmomg, you’re killing me with these. basically frozen peanut butter in a more acceptable form than a spoon… yes. off to go buy myself a popsicle maker. (not like i don’t have enough kitchen toys already… my boyfriend is going to go insane haha)
Demeter | Beaming Baker says
