I just had 4 large bananas about to go bad, so I peeled them and put them in the freezer. Any healthy recipes or ideas for what I can do with them?

    You can make it into banana ice cream
    or
    you can make them into protein waffles/pancakes. which I make all the time.

    Protein waffles/pancake:

    Dry mix:
    2 TBS whole wheat flour
    1.5 scoop of whey protein (i use choclate)
    1 TBS ground flaxseed
    1/2 TSP baking powder
    dash salt

    Wet mix:
    1 mashed small banana
    1 Egg white
    1 TSP vanilla extract
    1/4 cup milk (i used unsweetneded almond milk)

    Mix all together into a batter. Then pour into waffle maker (be sure to watch because my waffle maker can burn them) or place in pan for pancakes. The batter makes about 4 waffles.

    Calories: 185 (for 2 waffles or 1 serving)
    Total fat: 2.8g
    Carbs: 19.2g
    Protein: 21.8 g

    PS some people might think the carb count is too high. I eat these in the morning and I usually try to keep my own carbs low. But just FYI if you watch carbs.

    I only eat bananas frozen. What I like to do, if you have chocolate protein, is take a scoop of protein and add it in a bowl, add just a little bit of water and stir it so it is a good 'sludge' consistency, cut the bananas into slices and then coat the banana slices with the protein sludge, put them on a plate and throw it in the freezer for about 45 min for chocolate covered frozen bananas. They're amazing

    I just eat mine sliced and frozen. I bet with a smidge of peanut butter then maybe some toasted coconut it would bump it up to desert status.

    I make banana bread or mix a banana with oatmeal and peanut butter and bake to make cookies. Both require the bananas to be thawed but mushy.

    Shove them in a blender with cocoa powder, vanilla essence, pb whatever you want. I often throw them in with frozen strawberries. May take a while of blending to make an ice cream consistency, they go crumbly first.
