Roasted Banana Soft Serve
I would rename this stuff Banana Bread Batter Soft Serve. Because that’s exactly what it tastes like. Its pretty amazing and so good for you!
If you read any healthy food blogs, I’m sure you’ve seen this recipe. I love that this version roasts the bananas prior to freezing then whizzing them in the food processor. I always seem to have over ripe bananas in my freezer, so I’m definitely going to be making this again.
I topped mine with some chopped pecans to give it some texture, which I enjoyed. Of course, I also enjoyed it without the pecans. I love how dark it got because of the caramelized bananas. It almost looks like peanut butter!

Roasted Banana Soft Serve
Yield: 1-2
Ingredients:
3 very ripe large bananas
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Peel the bananas and cut into 1-inch pieces. Arrange banana pieces on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes.
Remove baking sheet from the oven and allow the roasted bananas to cool completely.
Place cooled roasted banana pieces on a parchment paper-lined plate and freeze until solid. Transfer frozen roasted bananas to a freezer-safe zip-top plastic bag for future use OR proceed to the next step.
When ready to transform the frozen roasted bananas into soft serve, remove the bananas from the freezer and place in a food processor or high-speed blender. Process or blend until the roasted frozen bananas take on a creamy & smooth consistency.
Eat immediately!

Those look absolutely delicious!!
Looks fabulous with all the color! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Was the consistency like ice cream? It sounds cool and summery. Plus you probably get super brownie points for submitting so early!
YUM this is perfect for the sweltering summer months! i am all about frozen desserts right now!
The texture isn’t quite as creamy as ice cream… It’s more frozen than that(?) They are really good though!
Oh wow! I like these. What a cool idea and they look so good for the hot days of summer. Where do you live? Can I come pick some up? 🙂
Jen, these look yummy!
CONGRATS … You are the Cupcake Hero!!
I know this post is like a year old, but I followed a link from another page and found it. Question – do you have to keep them frozen until serving? We’re going to a pool party, so they might be outside for a while. Will they melt?
If I remember correctly, they will melt. They might be fine for a little while, but not all afternoon. Sorry I can’t be more help!
