What can you make with overripe bananas?

Use applesauce in place of butter in the banana bread... healthier and tastes better. It makes it really moist!

If I have over riped ones, I use them in my protein shake. Use apple juice and ice and then mix it so the ice chops, then add chunks of the banana and then your protein powder. Mix and drink.....it's delicious! . The banana gives it a yummy taste.

Banana Ice Cream!

If they have brown spots, but they are not mushy, they are not over ripe, they are perfectly ripe. If they are solid yellow, they are not ripe yet.

For overripe bananas, peel them, cut them into 2 inch sections, put them in a freezer bag, and freeze them. Next time you make a smoothie, add some frozen bananas.

Lol, we had the same idea!

I have like 4 overripe bananas. The kind with the brown speckles on them. Do I just throw them away or are their low calories recipes I can make with them?

Are there "a few brown speckles" or are they ACTUALLY overripe? If they're starting to get soft, smoothies or banana bread are your best bets.

I use the Better Homes and Garden recipe but I use whole wheat flour and dark chocolate chips. It's devine.

Here is an easy recipe that I used the first time I ever made banana bread and it turned out perfect. I didn't use as much sugar as it called for. You can tweak it to lighten it up.

Smoothies!

And of course banana bread/muffins/cake (DUH), and those 2 ingredient pancakes!!!

:DD Thank you everyone

They are a bit mushy. SO far i think I'm gonna do this:
Choco/Banana muffins
Bread
Frozen

I think I have 4 bananas so I'll make a pancake, too (:

You need two bananas per loaf of banana bread.

I like having overripe bananas because I adore banana bread and like having an excuse to make it.

A couple weeks ago I made this coconut banana bread. One-eight of the recipe, or a generous slice, comes to 372 calories. Pair it with coffee in the morning for a delicious and filling breakfast:

It uses three large bananas. I would do something with the fourth one now-- either freeze it, or blend into a smoothie, or mash up and mix into yogurt-- and make the banana coconut bread with the rest.

Reese PB Banana Bread
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup Canola or Vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
8 oz bag of Reese’s Mini cups

How to Make

Preheat oven to 350
Grease your loaf pan (I used an 8 x 4 pan) with butter or shortening.
In a medium bowl whisk together your flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt, set aside.
In a large bowl stir together your bananas, peanut butter, oil, egg and sugars.
Pour your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Batter will be lumpy. DO NOT OVER-STIR.
Fold in your Reese’s Mini cups and spread batter into prepared pan.
Bake for approx 1 hour or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then loosen the edges of the pan with a knife and remove from loaf pan, transferring bread to a cooling rack.

If they have brown spots, but they are not mushy, they are not over ripe, they are perfectly ripe. If they are solid yellow, they are not ripe yet.

Ditto! I usually freeze them when they actually do become overripe until I have enough to make banana bread (my recipe calls for 6). I did make those 2 ingrdient cookies listed above the other night - very good.

Just add bacon, bacon fixes everything

I peel them, put them on a cookie sheet, freeze them, store in ziplock bags... SMOOTHIES!
