What to do with too many bananas?

Slice them up and freeze them in a tupperware container. You can then bring them out and at anytime and blend them up with a splash of milk (any milk), you then have instant low calorie ice cream! I like to add some peanut butter to mine, makes the ice cream really creamy.

This^^ Or you can always toss them in smoothies.Google recipes that suit your tastes. I also make banana cookies. You mix 2 mashed bananas and a handful or two of rolled oats, and bake in the oven. You can even toss in berries or cranberries like this recipe: http://www.blogilates.com/recipe-index/healthy-desserts/easiest-healthiest-cookie-recipe-in-the-world

You can also make banana bread or muffins

Agree with all the "freeze 'em" suggestions. I buy red-banded (super ripe or over ripe) bananas and peel and freeze them in gallon sized ziploc bags. I have three full bags in my freezer right now, as a matter of fact. The frozen banana thickens any smoothie or shake you use them in. It's so good. After a workout, I do one cup skim milk, one frozen banana and one scoop (or whatever the recommended serving size is) of chocolate flavored protein powder. If I have extra calories to "spend", I'll put in a spoonful of peanut butter. An easy smoothie I like is a cup to a cup an a half of water, a 1/4 of frozen orange juice concentrate, a frozen banana, and a handful of frozen mixed berries. I don't overblend the shakes or smoothies because they lose their viscosity as the blending process goes on and I prefer a thick drink. Also, I prefer to leave the bananas whole (as opposed to cutting them up) so it's easier for me to "measure" them for calorie counting purposes.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

foday I hve just mad Banana and Oat buscuits - that was the only 2 ingredients!!! I guess you could add chocolate chips and or peanut butter etc. but they were brill as they were!

Yummy!!

take a couple of bananas, blend until smooth, add 1 & 1/2 cups oats blend. Add any fun ingredients you would like to give a little flavor. I add a tsp agave nectar for a little sweet, chopped dates, flax seed, almonds, dried cranberries or cherries. The banana, oats and agave nectar are just the platform. Feel free to add what you like to them. Spoon drop onto greased cookie sheet (pam spray)Bake for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes about 12 cookies

I have a Yonana machine and the kids prefer that to ice cream. You can do almost the same thing in a blender but you'll probably have to add some milk or other liquid to get it to blend.

they make fun social sexual events.

freezing is great but do use within 1 month after that they are a bit ... ooo... um.... turd like!

How is it possible to have too many bananas? o.O

Yes, we have no Bananas!
Because they're eaten all up!

Anyway, like I was sayin', banana's is the fruit of the land. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, banana-kabobs, banana creole, banana gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple banana, lemon banana, coconut banana, pepper banana, banana soup, banana stew, banana salad, banana and potatoes, banana burger, banana sandwich. That- that's about it.

Slice them up and freeze them in a tupperware container. You can then bring them out and at anytime and blend them up with a splash of milk (any milk), you then have instant low calorie ice cream! I like to add some peanut butter to mine, makes the ice cream really creamy.

oh and add chocolate powder/syrup and get chocolate ice cream. Frozen bananas are also great for smoothies.
Make sure you freeze them before they ripen any more the longer they sit out the stronger the banana flavour.

*bump* Some great ideas--I've done the ice cream thing before--but never thought to add anything in.

Bump-a-roo!
