    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 :smile:

    Like others said, banana ice cream. I did 1 frozen banana (cut into slices before freezing), 2 tsp nutella and 1 tbsp peanut butter.

    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.

    I slice them, put a little reduced fat creamy peanut butter on them and a little squirt of fat free chocolate syrup and then freeze on a tray. Once frozen I place them in a container. Then I pull one out when I want a little sweet snack!

    I definitely agree with freezing them! A suggestion...if you wait to peel and freeze them until the peels are browning, they are sweeter. but i learned the hard way to peel them BEFORE you freeze them...

    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.

    I'm in love with this recipe lately. Best when your bananas are getting quite ripe. And you can bake it ahead of time and just heat up a serving in the morning.

    Thanks so much to everyone. I cut and frozen half of them this morning ready for smoothies and ice cream, funny how I forgot you can freeze fruit. For the rest of them I can't wait to try some of the receipes, particularly the oat and banana cookies and muffins.

    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.

    :flowerforyou:

    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.

    Eat them and throw the skins onto a pavement in a busy pedestrian thoroughfare, video the results and upload to YouTube for your 15 seconds of fame before the next 'big thing' comes along to satisfy those with the attention span of gnats.

    Or just do the smoothie thang.

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