I don’t particularly like the texture of bananas. I don’t enjoy eating them fresh out of the peel like my husband does. I know they are very healthy for me, especially as a female athlete. Bananas are full of potassium, high in fiber and low in fat.
So I hide my bananas in Smoothies and breads.
From time to time the bananas on our counter become so ripe that I have to come up with ways of preparing them before they become destined for the compost heap. This happened to me today. And I wasn’t overly interested in making my normal banana bread.
So I started looking into recipes here are some idea:
- Banana Cream Pie (via Tasty Kitchen)
- Banana Lasagna
- Banana Lassi (Indian Yogurt Drink)
- Banana Donuts
- Banana Pudding [with meringue] (via Tasty kitchen)
- Banana Cupcakes (Bakerella)
- Banana Pecan Sweet Rolls (via Tasty Kitchen)
- Banana Jam (via Tasty Kitchen)
- Banana Daiquiri (via Tasty Kitchen)
- Cold and Creamy Banana Pudding (Bakerella)
- Blueberry banana muffin bites

Some suggestions I have found of what to do with overripe bananas (black) if you still want to use them.
- Puree and use in pancakes, and breads
- Puree and freeze for future use
- Freeze peeled banana for smoothies
And a nice little treat, a video of banana’s ripening:
I still have not decided what to make with these bananas though. Perhaps I have too many options now.
