Banana Ice Cream Bread
YumHow to make an egg free bread using bananas and banana ice cream ! Banana Ice Cream Bread is an excellent breakfast and the tastiest healthy snack every kid will love.
Have you ever found your child making banana bread ice cream sandwich ?
My son cut two slices of banana bread and served it with ice cream, like a sandwich, instead of chocolate or peanut spread and had this type of ice cream sandwiches as long as he spent the whole loaf. Not in one day. π
It made me think : what if I develop a banana bread recipe that would include ice cream in the batter ? What ice cream goes with banana bread ? Should I add vanilla, banana or cookies and cream ?
Well, for the start, I added banana ice cream to two ripe bananas, some baking powder, little sugar, lemon juice, several table spoons of flour and the result was amazing ! After 40 minutes of baking, the result was absolutely great !
The batch I photographed include some sugar crystals on the top but it is not necessary to add them.
Also, you may add some chocolate chips into the batter. No one complained so far !
After several successful combinations, it seems to me that adding ice cream to breads and cakes batter is the most underrated simple food combination. Imagine what can you do with all of those ice cream flavors you can find at your market !
Once cooled, let me suggest what can you serve with this bread; any fruits (blueberries are our favorite), Nutella, scoop of your favorite ice cream and, yes, some sprinkles too !
The best way to store it is in plastic wrap. That way, it remains fresh for three days. Donβt ask if for days is OK because this one never lasted that long in our house !
