    I like bananas with custard, or with milk and sugar, or with raspberry yoghurt. Also nice baked in foil with almonds and honey and served with ice cream or cream or vanilla yoghurt.

    I slice mine and put them in a container, then stick them in the freezer. Once frozen they can be put in a freezer bag if you are low on space. If you eat them while frozen they almost have the consistency of ice cream. You can also use them in smoothies straight from frozen, making the end result nice and cool :cool:

    banana smoothies,my husband reconds it the best time to make them is when they go black.

    I agree. For your average blender, 2 bananas, 150ml pot of plain yoghurt and a big spoonful of honey. Whizz. Pour. Drink.

    I either stick them in the freezer for muffins/pancakes/smoothies later, or I put in the oven with a little fruit juice, and some brown sugar or golden syrup. Serve with icecream...yum.

    Definitely banana muffins in this house. Once made, they freeze really well. My workmates are always asking when I'm making them again (well I like to treat them to some proper home baking now and then).

    Oh yes, this works really well, if you freeze them in slices on a baking tray you can part dip them in chocolate too.
