    I also have left over bananas, no self raising flour (just plain) and no lolly sticks or custard, any suggestions?

    Slit open and grill.

    Serve with honey.

    A milkshake is good, but a smoothie is better.

    Stick them in a blender with a big tub of cheap plain yoghurt and a big spoonful of honey.

    Make Banana cake.

    8oz Self Raising Flour
    1/2 teasp Bicarbonate of soda
    4oz Margarine
    6oz Sugar
    2 well beaten eggs
    2 mashed bananas (you can use up to 4 if you like)
    Add a little water to make sure the mixture isn't too stiff.
    Use standard creaming method.

    Oven 170o / 3or 4 gas (depending on your oven) for approx 1 hour
    A loaf shaped cake tin.

    I double up the recipe (which takes longer to cook) and use 2 tins, then freeze one.



    If you aren't ready to make one, then mash up the bananas with a good squeeze of lemon juice and freeze in a margarine tub/poly tub, for when you do want to make one.


    I've baked this today & it is delicious.

    Thanks. It is a favourite of my Grandson.
    It tastes even better if you use Golden Granulated Sugar!!! But it does make it more expensive. :rotfl:

    we have about 5 very large bit too ripe now bananas left. we will make a banana bread if no other suggestions but a healthy option would be good as me and o/h are on diets. i do run and cycle so something that may class as an energy bar of some sort would be good. thanks for your suggestions.

    Sometimes I make a kind of smoothie with banana, milk and a handful of oats. If you freeze the banana (peeled) first it's even nicer

    we do need to use up some milk too so that may do in the morning as a bit of a post work/run smoothie.
