banana glut

whistler-alison

I often make banana bread because I always seem to have a banana going off. I stick them in the freezer until I have enough for the bread. The silly thing is that I don't really like the bread much so I take it into work. Alternatively I freeze the bread and use it in a banoffee trifle which I make on high days and holidays.

Hi recovering spendaholic,

This older thread might give you some more ideas: Bananas

What about banana muffins? I love banana muffins and buy extra bananas now and then for them to go spotty intentionally!

Maybe they'll associate the spotty bananas with banana bread but not muffins?

how about mixing it with caremalised sugar and water and milk and making banoffee ice cream?

Don't bananas go black if you freeze them?

why not banana fritters?

4 bananas( crushed completely) + flour + milk or water. mix well till almost runny but not just. scoop with table spoon and deep fried till brown not burnt.( takes 5 minutes).

serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

Hi tra,

They go a bit mushy once they are defrosted but they don't go black. Have a look at this older thread:

You could make banana lollies - dip them in melted chocolate, roll in hundred & thousands, wrap in clingfilm & freeze.

That, or chuck them in a smoothie.
