banana glut

Meadows

Banana, honey, linseed & milk as a breakfast smoothie.

Sliced Banana, bran (almost like a powder), linseed's and natural yogurt as a breakfast.

Banana pancakes

Barbecued Bananas

Green Banana Chips (slice and deep fry - I know very unhealthy, try almost dry frying for a healthier alternative).

Chicken & Banana Korma

In a Rice Pudding or added to any dessert

Added to a mint Raita

Fruit Salad served with natural yogurt

Banana Fritters

In a trifle, added to porridge

Slice a banana, add 50 ml milk, 125g natural yogurt, 30g oats, mix and leave in the fridge overnight for a tasty breakfast (you can add fresh berries before serving).

Then of course there are all the bread, cake, biscuit, desserts recipes etc.

Don't forget as good as Bananas are for you and a ripe banana will aid 'movements' an unripe banana can do the opposite and stop you 'going'.

my kids loved banana ice lollies - you just peel banana, cut in half and insert lolly stick, wrap in clingfilm and freeze! a very healthy (but nice) treat!

In my family (when I was a child) we used to eat them fried as part of a cooked breakfast! Not especially healthy, perhaps, though healthier than a lot of the rest of it, and it depends how you fry it. They taste surprisingly different cooked.

I really love bananas too, and could very happily make five of them my five-a-day (although I don't, obviously, before anyone lectures me).

That's where plantain's come into their own

here are today's attempts

banana muffins with coconut



and the banana turnovers

I brought a load of cheap brown bananas today. I need to do something with them quick (preferably something that can be frozen).

The only thing I can think of is Banana cakes, any other suggestions

Thanks

Banana 'icecream' - simply freeze (may be easier to slice prior to freezing) and blend the frozen banana. Healthy, yummy snack - you can flavour quite easily too, e.g. add peanut butter, honey, Nutella and so on.

I peel them, wrap in tin foil and then freeze them, frozen bananas are great in smoothies, chopped up and added to porridge or thawed and used in baking.

oh wow 33 pages of usages for bananas, thanks for merging. Will have a read through, wish I had brought more of them now.

I had a few over ripe bananas to use up last week and made banana bread for the first time. It was absolutely delicious :-)
