What can I make with overripe bananas?

Title says it all. I'm not very adventurous with cooking but is there anything I could make with 4 bananas? I don't want to through them out but a simple recipe would be great, especially if it was aimed at kids

BBC good good banana and oat pancakes
mary berry’s banana loaf (I add dark chocolate chips to mine)

Banoffee pie or cheesecake

Or put in a blender with peanut butter and milk for a great shake.

I use the John Barrowman banana bread recipe on the BBC website. I sometimes substitute the plain flour for wholemeal flour. Delicious.

Another vote for this. You won't regret it!

I leave out the raisins, and sometimes the nuts (or use choc chips in their place).

I also make it all in the pan I melt the butter/sugar in - just add the ingredients in the order she says. None of the sifting flour into a separate bowl etc (I don't sift the flour).

It's a totally delicious cake!

When I try the banana pancakes I just get fruity scrambled eggSad
Banana cobbler is nice but very sweet: melt 4oz butter in a 9"9 inch brownie pan. While it's melting mix one cup of sugar with 3/4 cup of milk and one cup self raising flour. Pour that over the melted butter, do not stir, put sliced bananas on top, sprinkle with brown sugar and bake 45 minutes at 180c.

Banana bread! It's much nicer made with over ripe bananas.

Use as a base for curry - yes, it’s a thing which will not appeal to many. I add spinach & cauliflower and love it.

pancakes
mush them up and add them to the batter.

chop and freeze to add to smoothies or to porridge.
