I have four nearly over-ripe bananas with which I would love to bake yummy things! Any ideas?

    I mash them up in my oatmeal. Bonus if you have peanut butter.

    Mash them with strawberries and a little almond milk (or regular milk) and freeze for a tasty frozen treat. (Or I like to do just bananas with a tiny bit of cocoa and peanut butter).

    I am SOOO making those cookies!! Thank you!
  • ohh yummy! sounds so good, i'll definitely give those a go sometime :)
  • try looking up a recipe for banana bread
  • My breakfast every morning is a smoothie with almond milk, protein powder (usually chocolate) and some frozen fruit, like straberries, raspberries or banana.
    I cut the bananas in slices and freeze them on a baking sheet, store them in a container and keep them in the freezer. I use them as I need them.
    I buyall my fruit fresh and freeze them that way. It is chesper than buying them frozen in bags, and they taste better.
