What shall I do with four squidgy nanas?

[Spagblog]

Translation - Four bananas, over ripe!

Good recipes for using them up?

Milk shakes
Sandwiches with brown sugar (childhood memories, yum)

Banana splits?
Banana cake
Smoothies
Fold into vanilla ice cream

I would second the milkshakes as the easiest thing, but if you have time, you could make banana bread, which is luurvly.
Or just make banana splits out there, that'd go down a treat.

Mmm, smoothies might work.
Banana cake sounds good.

Any recipes? Or should I google?

if you don't have time to do anything right now, just chuck them in the freezer, and use them to make smoothies or the b bread later

lol, my DS has 4 squidgy nanas

4 squidgy grandads too

banana bread - nigella has a recipe and it is great...

Banana loaf

Ingredients
225g/8oz self-raising flour
100g/4oz butter
150g/5oz caster sugar
450g/1lb bananas (the softer the better), peeled and mashed
½ tsp salt
2 eggs

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
2. Mix all the ingredients . You can do this in a food processor or by hand in a basin.
3. When they're all thoroughly, spoon the mixture into a 1kg/2lb non-stick loaf tin, spread it out evenly and bake it for one and a half hours. The loaf is done when a skewer pushed into its middle comes out clean.
4. Cool on a wire rack, then slice before serving.

You can also add some nuts (eg walnut or pecan)

I am going to make it now!

1 and a half hours...seriously?
Blimey!
Oh well, it's cooking in the oven right now

LOL - I read it as Nannas!

I made these today and they were fab! I used creme fraiche instead of sour cream.

Banana muffins
3 mashed, very ripe bananas
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream or yogurt
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup blueberries (or dried cranberries, chocolate chips, etc.)

In large mixing bowl, combine bananas, sugar, oil, sour cream and eggs; mix thoroughly.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add blueberries and stir to coat with flour mixture. Add to banana mixture, mixing until just combined.

Spoon into large muffin cups (lined with paper liners) and bake at 375 for 20-22 minutes. Turn out on to a cooling rack.

These freeze beautifully and can be reheated in the microwave.

Taste Tester Notes: These are easy to make and very moist. I tried these with chocolate chips, and another batch with blueberries. Combined with banana, both flavours were very good. I omitted the sugar in both versions, and found that the natural sweetness of the bananas made them sweet enough for my taste, especially when using chocolate chips. For an even healthier version, use all whole-wheat flour. I made 12 muffins that baked in 18 minutes. (Suggestion: If you have bananas turning brown and can't use them right away, mash them and freeze for baking later.)

Hmmmm. Warm them, just add cream and lime juice My favourite!

Muffins sounded nice!
I botched up my banana loaf...I don't know what happened, after less than an hour it had burnt bits around the edges, yet the inside is very moist.

Sigh, I am sure I would still eat it though.
