    I make banana bread. I don't use eggs, I use applesauce since my son has food allergies. You can pick healthier flours and substitute sugars, but I find good recipes at allrecipes.com.

    I skewer a hole banana with a wooden skewer and dip it in melted dark chocolate, then freeze. It's a great frozen treat. You can sprinkle salt no before you freeze (if you like the sweet and salty mix) or nuts. You can also cut the bananas into slices, top with peanut butter, dip the slices in melted dark chocolate, and then freeze.

    Try Banana Crumb Cake hope you will like this !!

    Ingredients

    .5 cup(s) pecans, toasted and chopped
    .25 cup(s) unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
    .25 cup(s) all-purpose flour
    .25 cup(s) packed dark brown sugar
    .25 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
    2 tablespoon(s) butter or margarine

    Banana Cake:

    1.5 cup(s) all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
    .5 teaspoon(s) baking soda
    .25 teaspoon(s) salt
    .125 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
    4 tablespoon(s) butter or margarine, at room temperature
    .5 cup(s) packed dark brown sugar
    3 tablespoon(s) pure honey
    2 large eggs, lightly beaten
    1 cup(s) mashed bananas (from 3 very ripe medium bananas)
    1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract


    Directions

    Prepare Coconut-Pecan Topping: In medium bowl, combine pecans, coconut, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissors-fashion, cut in butter until mixture resem­bles coarse crumbs with a few pea-size chunks remaining.

    Prepare Banana Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9-inch springform pan; line bottom with parchment paper and grease parchment. On sheet of waxed paper, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well blended. In large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat butter, sugar, and honey until light and creamy, about 5 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Gradually add eggs, beating after each addition. On low speed, add half of flour mixture, then mashed bananas, and vanilla. Add remaining flour mixture and beat just until smooth.

    Spoon batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with crumb topping. Bake 50 to 55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on wire rack 10 minutes. With small metal spatula, loosen cake from side of pan and remove. Cool completely.(Cake can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and kept at room temperature up to 1 day.)

    When I have bananas that I cannot use before they "turn" I slice them up and freeze them. They stay perfect and you can either eat them right from the freezer or add them to drinks, etc.

    I peeled mine, broke them in half, and froze them. It's a great addition to smoothies!

    1 fat free vanilla pudding cup
    1 banana
    1 "sheet" reduced fat graham crackers

    crush up graham crackers and slice bananas however you like, and mix all of it together. Really yummy and easy....My boyfriend loves it.

    This. I typically make drinks from them, or I mash them up with peanut butter and chocolate chips and make a pseudo-"ice cream"
