Something more exciting than banana bread?

[JuneOsborne]

My online shopping means we were sent over ripe bananas that no-one will eat. A week later and they're still uneaten and I can't bring myself to make banana bread again.

Anyone got any more exciting ideas for bananas that are only suitable for banana bread!?

Banana pancakes? … it’s a healthy recipe which uses bananas, porridge oats, eggs and a bit of baking powder. You need to blitz them together ( can use a hand blender) and then cook with a bit of coconut oil or butter. I serve them with fruit and Greek yoghurt.

Smoothies or banana ice cream?

Carrot cake? My recipe uses a couple of bananas.

If anyones interested in the pancakes.

Banoffee pie? Yummy

Banana muffins - freeze really well and good for lunchboxes/ after school snacks

Peel, chop them up into chunks and freeze - the chunks then make fantastic smoothies, really creamy.

I always put mine in the freezer (peeled/halved and in a tupperware!) and then use them in smoothies. You can also make banana ice cream with them.

This is divine, yes it's more cake, but you'll definitely be able to force it down

This always goes down well here- I can’t stand banana bread, but this cake is good!

Those pancakes are a lie! They are banana flavoured omelettes 🤮

Its really hard to get the skins off again afterwards though, loads of the stringy bits stick on. I slice up and freeze in a bag for smoothies.

@OKScarpetta and @WellNotReally that's the kind of thing I'm thinking of!

Don't want to freeze them or make smoothies with them, I should have said, I want to make something baked.

I beg to differ although if you typically put porridge oats in your omelettes who am I to argue 🤷‍♀️

Banana flapjacks are a massive hit here. Usual flapjack recipe but less sugar, butter & syrup required as bananas add sweetness & moisture 😋

Banana bread with chocolate chips.

I saw a recipe for banana bread with biscoff swirled through it this morning.

IMO banana bread is vastly improved by the addition of lemon zest. I find it very over-sweet otherwise.
