Going Bananas

It never fails. No matter how small or large of a bunch of bananas (now you've figured out that I'm not talking about me going bonkers), I always end up with one to three left that have passed the ripeness stage of eatability (yes, that's a work because I said so).

As much as we like my famous banana nut bread and smoothies, it can get kind of old after awhile.
So, I'm asking for your help. Does anyone have any good recipes to use up over ripe bananas? I'm up for anything. Hit me!

    I'm afraid I don't know anyone but I did now a rather strange person who liked bananas once they had started to go black.

    1 x banana

    glass of milk

    table spoon of peanut butter

    glob of Honey or sugar

    Get the mixer out.

    Banana and peanut butter smoothy, tastes bloody lovely, but looks awful

    And stu,

    The bana's have more flavour when they are black, or at least speckled.

    although once they start forming daiquiri's on their own, its time to throw them.

    You can freeze them until you're ready to use them.

    j martin- Thanks for the recipe. I'm waiting for the muffins to cool as I write this....they smell so yummy!

    Bearette- Any recipes? (holding my breath :)

    Dudeman- Thanks for the link. Your's is next on the list as soon as I gather some more ripe 'nanas...probably by next week.

    Stu- I can't stand them once they get any brown spots. My fave time to eat them is when they are just ripe enough to be able to peel them. Yumm!!

    Tenakalaz- I will definitely try this one. I love peanut butter and bananas. Sometimes I even just slice one up, put a glob of pb on the plate and dip each piece in.

    Liz- I'm waiting too. :)

    Carolyn- I have a bunch in the freezer door that fall out every time it's opened and hit the floor like a brick. One even broke in half, I just tossed it back in. I never think ahead to thaw them out. Can you microwave them to defrost them? I've been too scared to try.
