With all the raincoats and overcoats displaying in the stores my 2 year old figured out that in few weeks summer would end. Suddenly she decided to indulge in Popsicles even more than usual and that is her way to enjoy every bit of summer.

This concerned me because of her consumption of too much food color and too much sugar and I was thinking deeply on how to introduce a new variety of healthy Popsicle into her dessert diet.

Immediately, she brought a banana and some chocolate chips to me. I was surprised with her action and was wondering what she wanted me to do. She then took out the blender machine from one of the kitchen cabinets. Initially, I thought either she wanted a smoothie or a banana shake. But wait, I was wrong, she wanted a Popsicle. 🙂 I couldn’t stop smiling and immediately it struck me to create Baked Banana Chocolate Popsicles.

I decided to give my Popsicle recipe a twist by caramelizing the bananas to add a different flavor to it. Since, I wanted to control her chocolate chip consumption without depriving my baby of her desires. Therefore,  I decided to add the chocolate chips at the last stage of freezing. This way, with minimum pieces and calories I could add chocolate flavor to the Popsicles. It turned out to be delicious and she now eats 2 Popsicles at a time. 🙂

Ingredients for Baked Banana Chocolate Popsicles

Banana
Maple syrup
Vanilla unsweetened almond milk
Vanilla extract
Almond powder
Crushed pistachio
Chocolate chips

How to make Baked Banana Chocolate Popsicles

First, I drizzled maple syrup on banana slices. Then I covered it with aluminium foil and baked in a pre-heated oven.

Banana slices drizzled with syrup

Once the banana was baked and cooled, I blended all the wet ingredients in the blender.

Thereafter, I emptied the blender in a mixing bowl and tossed in the remaining ingredients.

Batter of the popsicles

Afterwards, I poured the ice cream batter into the popsicle molds and let it rest in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours.

Lastly, we simply enjoyed them to beat the heat.

This time my daughter decided the ingredients for this summer dessert and I must say I have a chef in the making at my home. 🙂
