What can I do with my bananas?

Make Bananas in Evaporated Milk. Slice bananas into a bowl. Sprinkle with sugar. Pour over Evaporated milk. This makes a quick and delicious pudding. Easy.

This recipe is fab and benefits from using soft bananas!

BANANA CAKE

6oz caster sugar
8oz self raising flour
2 eggs
2 large or 3 medium, very ripe bananas
2 teaspoons honey
¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Heat the oven to gas mark 4; 180C
Grease a 2lb loaf tin.
Mash the bananas with a sturdy fork.
Cream the butter and sugar together and mix in the eggs
Add the honey and cinnamon
Mix together the two yellow sludges you now have.

This is good, Bill Granger's Banana Butterscotch pudding, have made it a few times...

He only uses one banana, I always put at least 2 in

I mash bananas into sweet pancake mix all the time which are scrummy.

Or if you have an avocado blend with the banana, peanut butter, cocoa powder, nutella and a bit of milk to make chocolate mousse.

I've made banoffee crumble a few times - its lovely - chopped up banana with simple toffee sauce (Butter and sugar melted and caramelised then some cream added - not very healthy I know!) with a oaty crumble topping (plain flour, butter and sugar rubbed together with some oats added for texture) - Delicious with some vanilla icecream

Sounds like this would work better!

Thanks for the suggestions

I froze bananas once as they were going brown. Defrosted them a couple of weeks later in order to make a banana bread with my girls, and the nanas were all mushy and horrible (know this sounds gross, but when u see horror films of people bones being jelified, that's what these nanas reminded me of).

Where did I go wrong?

Don't look at them. Just chuck them in the mix. Defrosted bananas are gross.

I have an empty cereal bag in the freezer to chuck bananas into. I used to freeze unpeeled but it really is more time saving to peel first. We use for smoothues and banana ice cream. For the ice cream I just use the stick blender and blitz them. Hardly even tastes of banana. Going to try the suggestion above and mix with coconut milk and maybe pineapple. Works great if you whizz in a handful of frozen berries too.

Next to banana bread, this is one of my favourite ways to use up over-ripe bananas. Chocolate banana ice-cream: http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2007/11/the-easiest-cho/
