๐ŸŒ Banana & AB Cups (Vegan, No-Bake, Freezer-Friendly)

A 5-minute freezer snack made with real ingredients and feel-good flavor.

These Banana & AB Cups are the answer to one of my weekly problems: Too many bananas. Theyโ€™re sweet, creamy, naturally nourishing, and take just minutes to prep. With mashed banana, almond butter, chia, flax, and chocolate chips, these little freezer treats taste like dessert โ€” but are packed with fiber and healthy fats.

My kids love them as after-school snacks, I love them for late-night cravings, and theyโ€™re perfect for warm summer days when you want something cold and satisfying.

๐Ÿ“ Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas

  • 1/3 cup almond butter (or your favorite nut/seed butter)

  • 1 tbsp ground flax

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds

  • 2โ€“3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (just enough to mix smoothly)

  • A handful of dairy-free chocolate chips

  • Optional: pinch of cinnamon or flaky salt

๐Ÿฅฃ Instructions

  1. Mash the bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth.

  2. Stir in almond butter, ground flax, chia seeds, and almond milk until creamy and well combined.

  3. Spoon the mixture into silicone muffin cups or lined mini muffin tins.

  4. Top with chocolate chips and (optional) a pinch of salt.

  5. Freeze for 2โ€“3 hours or until firm.

  6. Store in an airtight container in the freezer. Let sit at room temp for 2โ€“3 minutes before eating.
