Toddler Friendly Homemade CHOCOLOATE pops
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Peel bananas and break into chunks. Remove pits from the dates. If dates are a little dry, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them up – makes blending easier and ensures smoother texture.
- 2Add all ingredients – bananas, peanut butter, dates, cocoa powder, and yogurt – into a blender. Blend on high until mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down sides so evenly combined.
- 3Give it taste and add another date if you’d like it sweeter. The natural sweetness from the bananas and dates is usually enough, especially for little ones
- 4Carefully spoon or pour the mixture into popsicle molds. This recipe typically yields 8–10 popsicles, depending on mold size
- 5Pop the molds into the freezer for at least 4–6 hours, or until frozen.
- 6Insert popsicle sticks into the molds.
