So, what do you use your ripe bananas for other than muffins and bread? I always seem to have 2-3 bananas that are well ripened and I always make banana muffins. They are really good, but I am looking for some more creative ways to use them to change things up. Oh and how do you properly freeze bananas for later use?

I add my bananas to my Greek yogurt as a dessert after supper.

Banana smoothies or banana milk
Peel the banana, cut in half and put it in a freezer bag. Not sure what happens when it's thawed though. Mine go right into the blender frozen.

I typically chop up a banana; throw it in the blender, add a few strawberries, milk, and some Whey protein.

Chelle, I always freeze my bananas right in the skins, or mash them up and freeze them in ice cube trays or in small containers.
I don't know any other recipes for ripe bananas. I have a great recipe for banana split cake, but it uses regular ripe bananas, not overripe ones.

I already eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches, but I can't stand to eat a overly mushy banana...gross! Well I peeled them and put them in a freezer bag. I didn't have any plastic wrap, but I am sure they won't stay in the freezer long. I am really trying hard to not be wasteful and throwing away 3 bananas is being wasteful when they can be used in something.

I like sliced frozen bananas. To me it tastes like ice cream. Yum!
Steamed vegetables with a banana for dessert and sugar free Mexican hot cocoa makes a perfect late supper.

I just found this recipe and I haven't actually tried it yet but we will be making it this weekend sometime. Hubby and I are somewhat adventurous when it comes to cooking and if it sounds weird we will try it.
Islander Fish Filets
1 LB orange roughy or other mild whitefish
1/2 C plain nonfat yogurt
2 Tblsp frozen orange juice concentrate
1 Tblsp lemon juice
2 tsp. fruit juice sweetened orange marmalade
1/3 C mashed banana
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
pinch white pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut filets into 4 serving size pieces. Place side by side in baking pan big enough to hold fish in a single layer. Combine the rest of the ingredients. pour 1/2 cup of the mixture evenly over fish. bake 5-15 minutes at 400 degrees or until fish flakes. serve with remaining sauce.
I will let you know how we like it. It also is healthy with 135 calories and 1 gram of fat per serving.

We made this today for lunch and it was yummy. I also had a recipe for hawaiian rice that I served with it. I highly recommend it.
