What else can I use overripe, smooshed-up bananas for?

The thrill is gone with banana bread/muffins/etc.

Use some the next time you make brownies.
I use a mix, follow the recipe on the box, and just add the bananas.

I know the feeling--banana bread is great if you haven't had it in a while.

Sea Foam Icing adds a tiny thrill to banana bread>>>

I suppose you have used the bananas in smoothies? I can't think of anything else at the moment.

I have never tried this--but might>>>

Next time, before you smoosh them up, stick them on a skewer and freeze them in a ziploc baggie. Whenever you feel like you want one, make a chocolate-dipped nanna and coat with the sprinkles of your choice (chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles, non-pareils, toasted shredded coconut, etc.). The kids love 'em too!

I throw them in the blender with some strawberry daiquiri mix and ice and blend it up. It's a good way to get rid of overripe bananas and improve your outlook on life.

Smoothies, Banana Pancakes, place them in the freezer for later. Love the title of this thread. Good job!
