One of the first things I did when I got back from Christmas vacation was hurry to my kitchen to make banana ice cream! I had some serious cravings for nice cream when I was away in Amsterdam. I couldn’t wait to dig into this creamy, dreamy bowl of cinnamon nice cream made from just 3 ingredients! It’s completely vegan, dairy-free, raw, gluten-free, and nut-free. Throw a fresh batch of peanut butter rawnola on the side, drizzle it with maple syrup, and you’ll be in vegan ice cream heaven!
There’s nothing better than ice cream sundaes that are this easy to make and this healthy for you!
The nice cream is made from just frozen bananas blended with cinnamon and coconut water until smooth. If you know me, you’ll know I just can’t stay away from nice cream for too long. It’s by far my all-time favorite breakfast!
The rawnola is a raw vegan granola that I’ve been making for the past year with no fail.
It’s my go-to vegan granola recipe that tastes endlessly amazing on all sorts of nice cream, on its own, with smoothies, or even as a base for raw desserts.
This time I switched it up just a tad by adding a spoonful of peanut butter to my rawnola.
Now, I think I’m going to make peanut butter rawnola in big batches and store it in jars. It’s super duper delicious and seriously addictive. I’ve realized that’s another thing I can’t go too long without: peanut butter. Rawnola, peanut butter, and nice cream are three of my favorite things to eat.
I drizzled pure organic maple syrup on top to round out the perfect nice cream sundae.

Can you eat rawnola like cereal
Yes definitely! A lot of times, I just eat it plain on its own. Or I’ll have it with some oat milk and sliced bananas. It’s really good on top of nice cream and smoothie bowls as a topping instead of granola too. But you can definitely have it as cereal too!
I’ve been making banana “Ice Cream” for years, sometimes adding toasted walnuts and a drizzle of maple syrup at the end, or just throwing in a Tbsp of peanut butter as I process the bananas. Your recipe takes the whole experience up a few notches. Delicious. Thank you very much for sharing.
Hi Joan! I discovered banana ice cream 2 years ago and have been hooked ever since. I’m glad this recipe can help inspire you to create new ice cream combos. I definitely want to try adding in toasted walnuts!
Does the peanut butter rawnola have a serving size?
If I’m having it on it’s own (like for breakfast), then this is one 100 gram serving. If not, you can split it up and it’ll be two separate 50 gram servings. But to be honest, I always eat the entire batch right when I make it!
This nice cream looks absolutely divine!! Beautiful photos too 🙂 XO
Thanks Sarah!! I’ve had a never ending obsession with nice cream for the past year 🙂 good to know I’m not alone!
