Over ripe bananas....

Definitely the banana ice cream. And I always freeze my bananas and use them in my favorite smoothie:
6oz 0% plain Greek Yogurt
8 oz. unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 frozen banana
1 tbsp chocolate PB2
1/2 tsp cinnamon
om nom nom...0 -
I put them in the freezer and add them to my smoothies. Sweetens them up without the added sugar.
1 cup milk
1 cup plain yogurt
1 banana
1-2 cups frozen strawberries
Blend and enjoy! I also add protein powder when I need/want it0 -
I mush them up and mix with oats (the amount changes depending on the banana size) and make cookies. Sometimes I add some maple syrup, honey, cinnamon or PB.
Found this on a forum.
2 old bananas
1 cup quick or old fashioned oats
Seriously. That's it. Just mash the bananas and mix in the oats. It's okay if there are still some small chunks of bananas. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
You can also add things like chocolate chips, walnuts, raisins, etc. The website I saw it on said not to add too many things though because they won't stay together as well.
So these are absolutely wonderful. Even if you eat all the cookies in one sitting (which uh... I did today... and also had doubled the recipe ohwell ) you're just eating two bananas and oats! It can't really get any healthier!
Also, I think if you add walnuts, these would be a delicious post-workout snack or even a great breakfast!0 -
Cut them into small pieces and freeze. Then, toss them in a blender with peanut butter and cocoa powder to make a peanut butter, banana, chocolate frozen treat.0

Mash the bananas mix in some oats baked for 10/15 mins. at 400 degrees. Makes a yummy cookie!0

1 medium banana, peeled
1 -2 tablespoon sugar (optional) or 1 -2 tablespoon honey, to taste
1 1/2 cups french vanilla yogurt (low-fat or nonfat is fine)

I use the skinnytaste.com recipe for banana bread and make it w/o nuts. Another idea is to slice the bananas up, dip in a melted chocolate / peanut butter mix, coat the bananas then freeze on a cookie sheet. After their frozen I put them in a freezer bag and just grab a couple if I want a snack. A couple of pieces will not kill your diet and they're just enough to get rid of a sweet tooth. Just don't eat a whole banana like that!0

Hunk them up, stick them in the freezer and give them 24 hours/until they're frozen.
Once frozen, pop in a blender and blend (add a tiny splash of milk if you struggle to get them started)! Voila, banana ice cream- has to be my favourite way of using up over ripe bananas. It comes out blended at soft serve consistency, if you like it slightly less 'melted' so to speak then pop it back in the freezer for a wie bit.
oh my freaking god!!!!! best idea ever!!!1 serious props for that awesome idea now i cant wait for my bannas to get too ripe0 -
I will freeze and blitz over ripe bananas to make the softserve. Then I will mix cocoa powder with a bit of agave and pour it over the banana. Then top with sliced strawberries (or thawed frozen berries) Ta-Da! A sundae fit for a queen!0

Thanks for the great ideas everyone! I have a couple of bananas in my freezer right now waiting for an idea to come up!0

Banana bread is healthy, what you gonna do, eat the whole loaf in one sitting?! Gah!
If you had ever had the joy of tasting my granny's banana bread fresh out of the oven, you'd know the answer to that is yes!0
