Bananas. I have a fruit bow full of over ripe bananas…

What’s your best use of over ripe, squishy nanas?

I would usually make a cake…

Yup, banana bread or banana muffins. I often freeze them when I'm not in the mood to cook or on a diet

Smoothie or milkshakes

banana ice cream. Blended nanas, whipped cream, spoonful icing sugar. Mix together, freeze partially, stir, continue freezing. Job done

Food dehydrator, I used to get massive carrier bags of over ripe bananas for 50p from a fruit and veg shop near me, saved him hoying them out. Dried in the dehydrator made lush chewy sweet strips.

Mary berry banana loaf is very delicious

and you'll most probably have all the ingredients at home if you bake

breakfast smoothy with oats

I made these when I had the same issue. They were divine! www.lifeloveandsugar.com/moist-chewy-banana-oatmeal-cookies/

banana bread!

Or banana and raspberry porridge

Peel them, cut into a few chunks then wrap in cling film and store them in the freezer ready for when you fancy baking something. I like Mary Berry’s carrot cake recipe that uses 2 ripe bananas.

And obviously when chopped and frozen they are perfect for a quick, chilled smoothie

Flapjacks, curry or frozen yogurt.

You can also bake bananas. Peel and place in an oven proof dish, sprinkle with a bit f brown sugar, some cinnamon or nutmeg, zest of an orange, its juice,, splash of rum if you’ve got any, and a handful of raisins. Bake at about 150 for about 10 mins.
I’ve not made these for ages so timings are a bit of a guesstimate but just keep an eye on them until the look nice and sticky. They are good with vanilla ice cream or plain Greek yougurt

Peel, freeze, use in smoothies

Banana muffins with chocolate chips. I could eat the whole batch when I make them, they're so good.

Banana ice cream. Peel them freeze them hard and blend. Chefs kiss!

I do a similar version of Wotagain but with dark chocolate

Place banana is foil package, add dash of rum, cinnamon & raisins and push some small squares of dark chocolate along the length. Loosely fold foil above the banana leaving room over the top.
Bake low heat for about 15 minutes

Serve with dollop of vanilla ice cream

Pancakes and freeze them.

I've just made muffins with four black ones going off in my bowl...

Mash 3/4 ripe bananas, mix in with one beaten egg. Add 150g caster sugar, 300g self rising flour, two spoons of butter and a splash of milk. Mix together but only just - leave it lumpy - then in the oven at 180 degrees in muffin cases for 17th a or so.

Much nicer than the bananas looked!

I've got done too and was thinking of baking these banana cakes with chocolate chips

I do banana and oat breakfast muffins, for the kids when they're sick of cereal.

3 overripe bananas needed per batch.

I chop them and then freeze in bags of two bananas then they can be pulled out and used in smoothies, baking, porridge etc

I also make those. In fact that is on my to do list for tomorrow!

Great for breakfast or for snack time at school.

Ice cream. I mixed some through some leftover whipped double cream and added some peanut butter.

Banana chocolate chip muffins, the best muffin flavour ever. I've made this recipe more times than I can count!

I just freeze them whole in their skins. I use them in baking. You only have to run the frozen banana under warm water and the peel slips off.
