This is my first new topic since I introduced myself so please forgive me if I don't do this right.

I am looking for recipes that call for using very ripe bananas. I usually take them and stick them in the freezer until I get around to making a big batch of banana bread. My kids are getting tired of banana bread and so am I, or atleast the version I make. I have tried jazzing it up with nuts or chocolate chips, but it is still the same old banana bread.

Does anyone have any other ideas? Maybe a very unique banana bread recipe? Right now I have about 8 to use up. Thanks!

Hi Matilda!

I have always wanted to make hummingbird cupcakes. (I plan to make them when we study tropical islands.

) Frosted banana bars sound yummy, too.

How about smoothies or banana puddings?

Thank you Dawn!

I always forget that you can use frozen bananas in smoothies. Thanks for the reminder and those hummingbird cupcakes looks yummy. I would think that the banana pudding would require fresh bananas. Do you know for sure?

Hello-I'm a newbie too!

Have you tried putting them in pancakes? I use a whole grain pancake mix that just requires adding water, then add variations of things. My dc love banana,walnut(I grind the heck out of them!) and choc. chip pancakes.

Warmly,
Christy

I made the banana pancakes for dinner tonight with smoothies (banana and blueberry)! Thanks for the ideas. It always strikes me as silly that I don't think of these things, but my mom was not a very adventurous cook. We pretty much ate the some things over and over. She says it was because we were too picky, which might be true.
