10 Things to Make with Ripe Bananas

I’ve shared all kinds of banana recipes because as much as we love bananas, we end up with our fair share of overripe bananas.  Not only are they great to add to smoothies, they make cakes more moist and give a rich taste to recipes.  Yum!  If you end up with bananas that don’t look good enough to eat, fear not.. try some of these recipes!

And in case you aren’t quite ready to use your bananas, here are 3 simple tips on how to do that:

3 Simple Tips to Freeze Bananas - don't throw them out, save them! www.thirtyhandmadedays.com

  1. Store whole bananas.
    You can do this a couple of different ways.  You can leave the peel on or take it off.  You can place them on a cookie sheet and space them out to make sure they don’t all bunched up.  (get it? bunched up! :)  You can also just stick them in the freezer whole, in any spot you’d like.   Pull them out when you are ready to use them and let thaw (unless the recipe states that you can use them frozen, ie smoothies)
  2. Cut into slices and freeze.
    Cutting up slices is great for things like smoothies.   You’ll want to store them in a resealable bag and to suck the air out of the bag so they don’t get freezer burn.  You can use a straw or you can push on the bag to get all the air out and then seal.    Banana slices are ideal for smoothies and shakes.
  3. Mash up bananas and freeze.
    To mash them up, use a fork, blender or food processor.  Store in an airtight container.  These can be used for baby food, in breads and treats, or in smoothies and shakes too.

    Hi there,I made some of these recipes listed but did not turn out nice , at least for my family. But I do recommend trying a couple if recipes that I tried & turned out really nice.
    One z from a blog, & the second was an improvised from a recipe to make banana pancakes with just bananas&eggs& t tasted sooo eggy so I added quick cooking oats and a dash of baking soda and let them sit fir hakf an hour. These turned out much better. .. :-)

    I’m a real fan of bananas. so much so that I have them delivered to my home. But at times, I can’t keep up with the supply and some get to that overripe stage. Thank you for these suggestions here. Some I know but some are new!! Yeah!

    I use frozen bananas in smoothies several times a week. For mine I use ripe bananas(some brown spots on the peel), peel them, break it in half putting each in it’s own snack size baggie then I smoosh it and seal the bag. smooshed bananas will blend up more easily than sliced or peeled alone.
