what to do with Banana"s

 I always have over ripe banana's at the end of the week.. What band friendly ideas can you share? I just hate throwing them out.. I also would like a cheese cake recipe too..Thanks...Lucky

 I make a cookie with mine... 3 mashed bananas, let them soak in with 2 cups of quick rise oats (5mins), 2 tbs peanut buter, fresh blueberries, 1/4 skim milk, (i sometimes put a few chocolate chips (dark) - it makes about 20 - bake 350 for 35 mins.  I luv em!

I made these the other night without the choc chips and I left out the peanut butter because I didn't have any...they were AMAZING, tasted just like banana bread!!!

 I peel and quarter the bananas , stick on a wax-paper lined baking sheet and freeze solid - they don't have to be covered.  Then put them in ziploc bags and they will be perfect for shakes or anything else you need them for.

(I don't like them any riper than yellow with a few brown spots\ for shakes or "ice cream".  If they are more ripe they are watery in those recipes.  The SUPER ripe ones stick around in the freezer for banana bread or cake!)

I also have several cheesecake recipes on my blog.  Look on the right hand side under Recipies and there is a section there.  Hope you find something you love!!

I saw Racheal Ray make ice cream out of them..I tried it and it's absolutely fabulous and a great dessert!!..

She peeled 2 bananas and cut them in half and froze them in a freezer bag....then when they were solid..she added them to the food processor ( I used the blender) and pulsed them...after a few pulses she added some skim milk...you just keep adding skim milk til it gets to the consistency that you like...she then scooped it into a dish and added a drizzle of chocolate sauce and a teaspoon of nuts and there you have it.  I found it to be super simple to make and very good !

I freeze however many  bananas I have, just let them thaw until I can slice them into a big bowl add a glob of peanut butter for protein and turn on the mixer until it's smooth and then put it in individual serving 1/2 cup size cheap freezable containers so I have treats ready to grab. :-)
