Thanks for the Elvis Bar recipe, I am making those tonight!!0

I always allow my bananas to get that spotty brown look, then I slice them and put them in a Ziploc and freeze. They are supposed to have more cancer fighting agents in them when they're brown and spotty, but I don't like the texture. However, they are perfectly sweet, I add the frozen bananas to my protein shakes or when I make juicing recipes in my NutriBullet.0

Slice them up, freeze, blend once frozen = healthy icecream :happy:0

Just take the banana's and add some oats to it, mix, and drop like cookies on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350. Great cookies!0

With a few chocolate chips! They are heaven!0 -
I peel them and put them in a freezer safe ziplock bag. I eat them straight from the freezer as a snack all the time. I am almost out and need to buy more. I like my bananas overripe normally anyway. I won't eat them unles they have spots.0

Smoothies! Or banana nut bread!
I always freeze them. Try 1 frozen banana, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 cup of water and 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder. Add some ice and blend. It tastes like a milkshake!0 -
They're great frozen and blended into a smoothie.
Yep... this.
I actually freeze all my over-ripe bananas now and blend them up for every recipe with whatever liquid ingredients the recipe calls for.
Banana pancakes
Banana bread

I'm exactly the same way! My fiance thinks it totally weird, and I find it totally weird when he's nomming on one that is all yellow with a bit of green at the top. I'm like, where's the brown spots?? Can I get a few brown spots on my banana's please???0 -
My company's cafeteria always puts the overripe bananas out on the counter for free. I take a few home 2 or 3 times a week. Peel, quarter and freeze for later use in smoothies and protein shakes.
For those of you who freeze them without peeling, how the heck do you get the peel off once they are frozen? I did this once and only the very outer yellow part of the peel came off, the white part of the peel was frozen to the good fruit. It took me 5 mins to peel one frozen banana.
Another good use is to cover them with natural peanut butter, dip in dark chocolate, cover in crushed nuts and stick them in the freezer. These are great on days when you have a whole lot of extra calories in your plan.0 -

You don't have to add anything else to it? No flour of any kind, just oats?
Is it quick oats?
I have a few bananas that are gone and need to do something with them.0 -

Wow, I freeze all kinds of fruit when in season locally for use later in smoothies. Mangos (not actually local to northern ohio, but when i find them for a good price i buy a lot and dice and freeze them). Local strawberries are plentiful right now, I'll buy a lot of them this week, wash, cut the top off and freeze them. Peaches will start to come ripe in a few weeks, my family goes nuts for them all year long, we'll buy a couple bushels and cut them and freeze them. Raspberries, blueberries, blackberrie all freeze well for use in smoothies. We even freeze red and green grapes - they make a nice cool treat to suck on.
The big thing is to make sure none of the fruits freeze into blocks that are too big to use, I put them on wax paper lying on a cutting board till they freeze then put them in a ziplock bag once solid.0
