    If you are gluten free, here is a recipe I found recently and tried yesterday. I didn't have coconut flour, so I used almond flour instead, and cut the coconut oil in half. They came out pretty good.

    Peel them and stick them in the freezer. Then in a short while you have a lovely frozen alternative to ice cream. Done and done.

    (If you are talking over-ripe bananas, then that might not be so appealing. So, I'd search Epicurious for pancake, waffle, or banana bread recipes, myself.)
  • I like banana oat breakfast cookies. My 8 year old can't get enough of them.

    "Ingredients:

    2 large old bananas
    1 cup of oats (quick or regular! if you use regular, we’d suggest chopping them a little so everything holds together better)

    Mix those two together. Old bananas are amazing for this, but you can use fresh ones too. I buy a bunch of bananas, let them get old on my counter, and then stick ‘em all in the freezer.

    Then add in what sounds yummy to you! (or nothing!) We love:
    -a handful of chocolate chips
    -crushed walnut pieces
    -cinnamon
    -raisins

    Since all bananas are different sizes, the needed measurements can vary. If it seems too runny and the cookies would flatten out too much, add in more oatmeal. And make sure to not add in TOO many mix-ins as the cookies won’t hold together very well. The ones in these photos have a handful of chocolate chips, a teaspoon or two or cinnamon, and 1/4ish a cup of crushed walnuts.

    We made 16 cookies with those measurements. We cook them at 350 degrees for 15 minutes on a GREASED cookie sheet. Don’t forget the greased part…. I did once and had to scrub my pan forever."

    I freeze them, and then blend them frozen until they are ice cream consistancy. . .

    You can always freeze bananas to use for smoothies and recipes later.

    I slice up my ripe bananas, freeze them, and use them as needed in my smoothies. Delicious and they don't go to waste!

    When you blend the frozen bananas, add a handful of frozen berries to improve the colour of your ice cream like dessert.
