  • 6 bananas, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces, and frozen overnight
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 apple, cut into ½-inch dice
  • 1 pear, cut into ½-inch dice

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Transfer to an airtight container. Repeat with the remaining bananas and cinnamon. Store in freezer until ready to serve.
