How to use up bananas?

Make some sort of banana bread or banana muffins. Mushy, brown bananas are perfect.

I have an awesome fat free banana muffin recipe that uses 4 nanas at a time... I freeze the muffins in packs of two and have them for breakfast all week

Freeze them. Then put them in the food processor with a little milk and you get banana ice cream. You have to eat it straight away though.

This...add some cocoa for chocolate ice cream. Yummy! Definitely better when the banana's are a bit more brown.

give me all you got

A friend was just telling me yesterday about a super easy banana cookie.

Mash up 2 bananas and mix with 1 cup Oats (Quick Oats)....make into balls and bake in oven.

Don't know how they'd taste but she said they were pretty tasty:)

I found this recipe a month ago, and I love these cookies! I put 2 bananas, 1 cup quick oats, and 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out the dough and then press it flat on a greased baking sheet. (they won't flatten out on their own when cooking). Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes. Best right out of the oven.

You can make your own granola bars. Just mix some oats, mashed bananas, honey/agave, shredded coconut, nuts, dried fruits, hemp or flax seeds, a small splash of coconut oil, whatever else you want to add. Mix it until it sort of sticks together in a lump. Press into a 9"x9" pan. Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes.

slice them up, put them in a flat layer between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and freeze (after they're frozen, you can either fold up the "sheet" to take up less space or put them in a ziploc baggie). eat a couple of slices for a yummy frozen treat - add a little organic almond butter (or chocolate almond butter) for an added bonus! but stay away from nutella (too much sugar - 21g!) - organic chocolate hazelnut butter is so much better (only 7g of sugar and the taste is out of this world)!

Bump sounds good!

Guilt-Raisin Free Oatmeal Cookies



http://eatyourselfskinny-printablerecipes.blogspot.com/2013/03/clean-oatmeal-raisin-cookies.html

" Let me just begin by saying, these cookies have absolutely NO eggs, oil, sugar or butter.....BOOM. A winner in my book already. Now I'm well aware those ingredients pretty much encompass everything that people love about a cookie, but these taste insanely good and without the guilt!

Believe it or not they taste a lot like banana bread, probably because bananas are used as the main component which hold all the ingredients together. I subbed plain Greek yogurt for the oil and sweetened these up with some vanilla extract, cinnamon and allspice. I promise you, this recipe is definitely worth saving and is great for a quick breakfast when you're on the go. They also freeze really well too! " ~ Kelly ~

Here are your ingredients:

1 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. allspice

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In one bowl, combine rolled oats, coconut flakes, salt, cinnamon, allspice and chopped mixed nuts. Stir in raisins and set aside.

In a smaller bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth and all lumps are gone. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.

Using a round cookie cutter (or shape with your hands), spoon mixture into the cutter pressing firmly then removing the cutter. Shape should keep form; do this until you have 20 cookies or you run out of batter.

Bake at 350 degrees F for about 15 to 20 minutes and enjoy!

Do this! It's delicious! Smells like banana bread baking. I add some vanilla and cinnamon to mine. You can do it by using approximately 1 banana per 1/2 cup of quick cooking oats. Bake 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes depending on the size. Here's the recipe I started using:

Banana Cookies

3 ripe bananas
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup applesauce
2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup chocolate chips (or try raisins, craisins, dates, apple chunks, etc.)

Preheat oven to 350F. Mash bananas and lemon juice with a fork. Add applesauce, oats, spices and vanilla to banana mixture. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop small spoonfuls of dough onto a lightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten cookie drops into cookie shapes. (These cookies do not spread so they will stay in whatever shape you bake them in.) Bake for 20-25 minutes.

I break up into about 2" pieces and freeze for my smoothies.

I sliced them up then freeze them. Then when I need a treat I dip them in peanut butter. So good!
