banana glut

Looking for ideas to use up old bananas when they have gone starting going black, as no one in my house will eat them when they are like that.

Cheers

sadly that is when they are the tastiest.
We have been brainwashed into believing green bananas are best
Stick to your guns and eat them yourself.
we always buy them reduced/ripe at Asda as every body thinks they are bad.
If they are too far gone just cut the worst off.

apparently, if you peel them, wrap them in clingfilm and freeze them and then eat them frozen they are like a creamy ice cream. Never tried this myself but my friend used to rave about them.

See this thread for some ideas :drool:

There are a few banana recipes on the recipe index (top of the page, in the blue bar) I have only made one so far, this one, and it's great.

Hi

I got loads of bananas from asda reduced the other night and no-one would eat them 'cos they had turned black, my freezing book said not to freez them, but it is an old book. So I got my son to bake a banana and walnut tea bread, it was yummy, and it was from the be-re book I own

Personally i like them when they start to go black, it makes them much sweeter.

You could try this, its lovely......
Slit the banana (with skin still on) and fill the slit with chocolate buttons, then wrap in tin foil and bake in the oven or BBQ. The chocolate melts all through the banana. Scrummy!!

I love bananas but cannot eat them once they start going soft. I usually make a banana and walnut loaf with them or a banana milk shake is nice.

I can't eat bananas as a fruit from when they turn speckly. They are a completely different fruit to me, then; I don't like the texture when they start to go soft, and they go from having a fresh, fruity taste when they're just going yellow, to having a very different, almost alcoholic taste (but the warmer taste of banana that some people love), I find, when they're on the turn. But that's when I find they're great in milkshakes and baking, very "banana-flavour" flavour...if you see what I mean! My banana oat muffins are on the recipe thread, a semi-healthy breakfast or mid-morning snack. Though the currants are really annoying me, as there are pips in them, and the odd crunch is really putting me off the muffins...but that's another story...
