black bananas.........cut open longways.....sit in a foil jacket....pour in brandy/favourite spirit and pop on BBQ....okay.....best summer yes...but v nice ;D

could grill or oven i suppose...

I find leaving them whole, with a few chunks of a a good dark chocolate, and a few tablespoons of rum over, BBQ'd or baked in tin foil works best, served with double cream!

Yummy!

I have tried to make banana bread using catznine's recipe and its taking an age to cook through. I made it as directed and put it in a 2lb tin so I would expect it to take more than 45 mins. It has now been in for 1hr 15 mins and still isn't fully cooked (top is springy but a skewer is still pulling out some raw mix)

Has anyone made this in a 2lb tin before and how long did it take?

"3 very ripe bananas (almost walking) or use defrosted frozen bananas!
pinch of salt
6oz melted butter
1 teaspoon bicarb of soda dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
6 oz caster sugar
1 egg
9 - 10 oz plain flour

Smash bananas (food processor is great for this recipe).

Add remaining ingredients, mix together. Pour into 2 greased or paper lined 1lb loaf tins or 1 lined 2lb tin.

Bake in moderate oven (180C/350F/Gas mark 4) for 45 minutes. Will also make as muffins. Freezes well and is lovely sliced, toasted & dripping with melted butter. "

Banana bread? I think that could be frozen. Banoffee pie...yum yum. Banana pancakes for breakfast. Sainsbury's (I think) have a recipe for banana bread and butter pudding. HTH

If you are going to make muffins with them, you can freeze them as they are and if they're a bit patchy it doesn't matter.

Cheapskate

You can freeze bananas, but not if you want to defrost them to use normally. Chop them in half, then stick a lolly stick in the cut end (towards the pointy end!), open freeze, then wrap in cling film or a freezer bag. You then have banana lollies! You can also dip the frozen "lollies" in melted chocolate, they set quite quickly cos they're fozen, & make a wicked but healthy treat for kids - thake a while to eat, too, so keeps the kids quiet for longer!!

My OH freezes bananas then puts them in the food processor with a drop of cream and makes banana 'ice cream'. I've not actually tasted it but might be worth a shot. I usually turn my left over bananas into banana cake.

I've always frozen my whoopsied bananas to use in banana bread, cakes etc. Just mash well and freeze. Defrost before using them and they do just great.

I made lovely banana ice cream with whoopsied bananas.
Think it was with cream and eggs, but could have been cream and milk
It was last summer so can't quite remember.
Still got some in the freezer though lol
