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!

You’re right- so easy there’s no reason not to try this! ha!
Love that this recipe is so simple and easy. A must have for Thanksgiving.
I LOVE homemade cranberry sauce! Tastes so good on the Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich!
Delicious! Simple recipes need to be shared too…those are my favorite 🙂
This absolutely falls under the this-is-so-easy-and-so-much-better-why-would-I-ever-go-back-to-canned-version territory! I recently made turkey burgers with cranberry sauce dressing and used the canned kind – never again!
You’re so right…there is NOTHING better than homemade!
Wow, this sounds so easy and delicious! I’m cooking for the first time this year and can’t wait to make everything from scratch, which usually doesn’t happen when others in my family cook… 🙂
I’m jealous, I want this. I have to eat the stuff from a can because I’m allergic to cranberries and the stuff in a can is far away enough from real that I can get away with it. My grandma used to make cranberry relish which was amazing, but also broke me out into the most amazing hives.
I have never understood those that buy canned cranberries when they are so simple to make. Tastes way better than any can.
Thanks for your nice and simple cranberry sauce recipe.
