    Or, peel them, wrap in plastic wrap and toss in freezer to use in smoothies or any other banana recipe.

    Sweet, overripe bananas are perfect for baking! Banana bread, cookies, muffins.... at my house, they never last long enough to go into a baking recipe, which is a crying shame.

    Banana Banana Bread! I used to deliberately save my ripe bananas just for that!

    Banana bread. I've used black bananas for it, and it turned out wonderfully.

    Ice cream! You just freeze them and blend them and voila! Ice cream, kind of! I add peanut butter and chocolate chips. (Banana bread sounds better, though)

    I either make banana bread, smoothies and or freeze them for said items. You don't have to add ice if you have them already frozen for the smoothies.

    Depending on how far gone these bananas are...

    sorta too-ripe but still yummy:

    banana crepes with Nutella or banana split

    VERY overripe, getting a slight bit mushy:

    banana pancakes or banana smoothie

    TRULY on the edge of garbage, mushy with some brown spots:

    zucchini banana lowfat brownies (recipe from Pinterest) or banana bread

    Banana Ice Cream

    http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-creamy-ice-cream-w-93414

    You just slice them up and freeze them, the you throw the frozen stuff into a food processor and run it till it takes on the consistency of ice cream. I did this for my kids and they had no idea it wasn't real ice cream.

    This is what I do. I throw in a handful of frozen berries, which improves the colour.

    banana pancakes--- mash them up with some eggs, add vanilla extract, nutmeg, flour (if you want) OR protein powder, maybe some peanut butter, & then pour in batches into the frying pan :smile:

    Smoothie, banana bread, banana muffins. I'm sure you can use banana's for some sort of face mask or something? Google that.

    BANANA ICE CREAM!!! slice them and freeze.The blend them up till silky and smooth add a little milk if you feel like it, but the riper the banana the sweeter the ice cream found it out the hard way. The fresh yellow ones leave a bitter taste but a ripe banana is the best way to go! P.S you shouldn't need milk just blend until smooth but if you blender isn't at the top of it's game add just a DASH not a lot. good luck I'm off to make me some lol
