Bananas going a bit black?

**skinnyminny**

I found this idea which might help

Banana Ice Lollies
Ingredients
2 or 3 bananas
lolly sticks (you can substitute cocktail sticks for older children)
optional coverings:
melted chocolate or maple syrup
dried coconut
chopped nuts
sesame seeds
vermicelli (hundreds and thousands)
Cut the bananas into bite size chunks and push the lolly sticks into them. Place in the freezer on a covered freezer proof dish for a couple of hours or until frozen. They are delicious just like that but if you prefer a bit of decadence dip each lolly in chocolate or syrup (be quick - it sets quite fast!) and then into dry ingredients of your choice.

Other than banana bread, can you think of anything exciting to do with 4 over ripe bananas?

I swear a pixie has run off with my inspirational streak today.

I never fancy banana bread but Nigel Slater made a really nice-looking cake with nanas, hazlenuts and I think poppy seeds in his 'simple suppers' a couple of weeks ago. If you google him I think you will find the recipe - I hate all the things you can do with old bananas (except composting them) but this loked so good I am planning to do it when next in the presence of brown spotty nanas.

Freeze them to make smoothies or Make Jamie O's banana ice cream (blitz frozen bananas, yogurt and honey)

Lovely with peanut butter, in a sandwhich.
