I don't want to just throw them away, but I'm not sure what to do with them. There is a big bunch on them so I don't want to make like a triple batch of banana bread but I'm lost on what other recipes I could use.

    Freeze them and use them for shakes later. That's how I use them up.

    Freeze them, then once they're frozen, peel and slice and put into a smoothie....I literally just got done doing this! :)

    I don't care for my bananas too ripe & I don't dare make banana bread ( I'll eat it all!) so I slice them & freeze in a plastic bag for my protein shakes. I put about 7-8 slices (1/2 banana) in with my almond milk & protein powder. My fridge I
    Only makes ice cubes instead of crushed so by using frozen fruit I get that smoothly texture.

    I mush one up and mix with two eggs and some egg white, some shredded coconut and make pancakes. Top them with warm berries and chopped pecans. Yum.

    You could make one batch of banana bread now, then divide up the rest to freeze and use to make more bread later on.

    I made my frozen black bananas into a banana cake the other day. Then I took it along to my walking group and we all had a slice.

    2 bananas
    1 cup oatmeal

    Put the bananas in food processor and beat them to banana goo. Stir in oats. Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins. You could add cinnamon and nuts. I've added vegan chocolate chips. Very tasty and quick IMO! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    Freeze them, then put in a blender with a little skim milk, peanut butter and chocolate chips. Makes a great smoothie, or if u make it thick enough it makes great Ice cream :) and Healthy too!

    Banana "ice cream." Simply peel the bananas and cut them into slices. Place in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Once they're frozen, take them out and place in a food processor with desired flavorings (for example: vanilla, mint extract and chocolate chips, protein powder, or chocolate syrup).

    Freeze them, once frozen add to food processor or blender and blend until you reach icecream consistency!! No added milks, sugars...just the banana!!
