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.
BANANA DAIQUIRI
1 large ripe banana
2 oz dark rum
Splash of Triple Sec
Juice of 1 lime
1 oz light cream
1/2 oz simple syrup (half sugar/half water)
Crushed ice
In a blender, pour in the liquid ingredients first & then add the banana, broken up. Once pureed smooth, add small amounts of ice until desired consistency.
BANANA CHEESECAKE
Crust
1 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
5 TBL butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350°. Stir together the oats, pecans, brown sugar & butter until well mixed. Press firmly into the bottom & up the sides of a 9" springform pan. Bake 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool.
Filling
Two 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
4 eggs
Topping
1 cup sour cream
2 TBL granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Banana slices for garnish
Preheat oven to 350°. Beat together the cream cheese, bananas, 3/4 cup sugar & lemon juice until well blended. Add the eggs 1 at a time beating well after each addition. Pour into the crust. Bake 40 minutes. While the cake is baking, prepare sour cream topping by mixing together the sour cream, 2 TBL sugar & vanilla until well blended. Remove the cheesecake from the oven & top w/the sour cream mixture. Return to the oven & bake 10 minutes longer. Cool slightly. Loosen the cake from teh sides of the pan & remove the springform. cool the cake to room temperature. Refrigerate, covered overnight. Garnish w/banana slices before serving.
ROASTED BANANA SAUCE (serve over ice cream or cake, especially chocolate cake)
12 ripe bananas, cut in chunks
3/4 cup butter

Combine all ingredients in a large roasting pan; cover w/aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 20-30 minutes or until banana has completely broken down. Let cool at room temperature. Mash with a spoon until desired consistency, adding 2 TBL water if mixture is too thick. Serve at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
