Banana Bread? Or what to do with 8 overripe bananas???

[Spagblog]

I seem to crash the pc everytime I try and use search archived messages, so bear with me if this has been done before.

Anyone got a good recipe for a cake, or similar in which you use lots of overripe bananas?

Please? Don't want to have to bin them.

Mash them with ricotta cheese, some honey and raisins and bung in a toasted sanwhich.

I freeze them when they get too ripe. And then I use them to make banana bread.

Cut in slices and freeze them and then blitz them with some fruit juice for a fab iced smoothie..

Banana and choc chip muffins?

Don't know about over ripe, but this is a lovely banana cake

4 oz self raising wholemeal flour
half tsp mixed spice
2 oz butter
3 oz raisins
8 oz banana
1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 180 / gm 4. Mix flour and spice, rub in butter and stir in raisins. In a separate bowl, mash the banana and egg. Stir into the flour mixture and put into a well-greased tin (fills a small loaf tin I think or I usually double up the quantities and put it in an 8" circular cake tin). Turn oven down to GM 3 / 160 C and cook on the middle shelf for 1 hour or until cooked.

I usually cover it with a mixture of philadelphia cream cheese and fruit spread (about 2 parts cream cheese to one part fruit spread / jam). Blend them together in the liquidiser.
