AIBU to wish my family didn't eat so many bananas?

[ShtoppenDerFloppen]

And instead left them to go "bad" too soft for the complainers so that I could make banana bread all the time?

For some reason, the bananas in the fruit bowl were neglected this week, so now that the family has gone to their regular daily activities, I am happily making up a batch of banana bread.

As I have been warned in another thread that there are antisocial individuals out there who would seek to ruin a good loaf by cutting it like a savage, I shall also slice the cake before the family gets home and mangles it beyond all recognition.

I made some banana and Nutella muffins before, they was amazing. I daren't make any more becuase I couldn't stop eating them

LyingWitch "all the time" would be about once a month, if I had the chance. As it stands, I manage it a couple of times a year. As for getting suitable bananas at the greengrocer, I seem to have fabulous luck - at being about a minute too late and watching someone else grab the last bag of them.

My recipe is a healthy(ish) one, my niece didn't hesitate to tell me I do it all wrong because I add Bran Buds and "not nearly enough" sugar. My MiL makes it with about a half pound of butter and chocolate chips. She does it "right"

I sometimes make actual banana bread in the bread maker. It makes wonderful toast.

Which is no help if you have no left over bananas!

(Cake wise, I use Nigella's recipe from Donestic Goddess)

Unzip them and munch them up while you can, as the Cavendish banana that we all know and love will soon be wiped out by Panama disease.

Hate overripe bananas, I've always used normal bananas for banana bread.

Do rather like bananas flambéd in rum with ice cream - 70s but good.

I'm just sad and jealous that I have no bananas... we don't really eat them in this house. I don't like them much, I stuff a bit of one into my mouth and leave it there like a hamster for ages trying to get rid of it.

I might like them in a bread or cake though, I think!

i hate bananas...nasty starchy clarty things, the smell, the feel, the texture...all makes me shudder

but i adore banana bread, also a fan of laBerry's recipe, but I'll try any banana bread recipe.

I also banish them to the bottom fridge drawer so I do not have to smell them wafting their banananess around the house.

YANBU! I'd sell my firstborn for Nigel Slater's chocolate muscovado banana cake (www.thewednesdaychef.com/the_wednesday_chef/2013/01/nigel-slaters-chocolate-muscovado-banana-cake.html)!

I do like a fresh banana. But as soon as they turn they are yucky!

I only buy them for my roses. Holy Moly do they like bananas!! I bought about 12 tiny sprigs of roses this spring - had about 8 leaves each on them. Now most of them have about 10 blooms on them and they are growing like the clappers.
And yes; this new rose bush obsession is a bit of a worry! Next year I am planning on dotting a fair few more across the land. I am a lady hear me ROAR!!!

Or just bake them. Slice them vertically and slosh over Demerara sugar and lime juice and bake them. Oooh yes.

Except that DP and Dd2 don't like bananas.

Chocolate banana bread is good.

Mashed bananas on wholemeal toast is also good. In fact, I think I might have that for supper.
