Re: Anyone have a ""different"" recipe using ripe bananas??

Thanks for the responses so far! In looking up recipes for Banana Bread as suggested by bigcat, I've seen several references to Antonella Nester's Banana Cake, but I can't find the recipe. Does anyone have it or know how to find it? I'd love to see what it is.

I'm answering my own post! I kept looking and went to Antonella's blog (I don't ever look at blogs), and I found the recipe. It sounds much like banana bread - has anyone tried it?

I puree them and use them in my sour dough pancake/waffles or quick bread.

I came across this site while searching over ripe bananas recipe:

http://www.crunchycreamysweet.com/2013/07/27/what-to-do-with-over-ripe-bananas-recipe-round-up/

Also, my Mother always told me to put bananas in the fridge to help them last longer. The peel DOES turn dark or black, but they stay fresher longer! Smiley Happy

I posted a recipe a few weeks ago for a Banana Butterscotch Bundt cake. It is really easy to throw together and is delicious. I made it again a couple of days ago and my son came over and ate 3 pieces!

I'll try to find it and bump it up.

Re: Anyone have a ""different"" recipe using ripe bananas??

Just saw this today.

3 ripe mashed bananas

1/3 cup applesauce

2 cups oats

1/4 cup almond milk

1/2 cup raisins (optional)

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp cinnamon

Bake 350 degrees for 15-20 min. Recipe did not state size of pan. I'm guessing 8 by 8 or 9 by 9.

That sounds good. I have bananas in my freezer now taking up space & would love to pull out the bundt pan!

Just make banana ""mylk"". 3-4 ripe bananas with 24-36 oz of water & ice...maybe a squirt of vanilla or a celery stalk...and drink up. Sweet. Hydrating. Win-win-win.

Hi Kittymom,

I saw Banana Crunch Muffins on The Barefoot Contessa the other day. I haven't tried them, but they look/sound wonderful. You can find them HERE.

LoLa, I make the Barefoot Contessa Banana Crunch Muffins all the time and they are to die for! They are the best use of on the edge bananas there is. I've even made the recipe into loafs and its awesome. I can heartily recommend the Contessa's Banana Crunch muffins.
