Any ideas for (frozen) bananas?

I just looked at the bag of overripe bananas that's in the freezer. Whoa, nelly.

There's only so much banana bread a family can eat and we're just not into smoothies.

Re: Any ideas for (frozen) bananas?

  • Since my kids have nine billion allergies, dairy being one of them. We freeze bananas, and break them up into a bowl. I use my hand mixer and beat it until it is soft serve ice cream consistency. Its our version of ice cream. Very creamy and healthy. I add choc syrup to mine, and the kids get sprinkles. You could prob doctor it up to your liking. It prob sounds like a trashy version of ice cream, but I have to be creative with having allergy kids. 
  • I slice them up and add to plain yogurt.

  • Banana muffins? Not too far off from banana bread, I know... Could you bake some banana bread loaves and package them up for gifts?

  • Send some to me?

    I love making banana bread, but I buy two bunches of bananas at a time and rarely get any that get over ripe and end up in the freezer!  I think I have two in there, since this summer.

    And, I totally want that Yonanas thing that makes frozen fruit in to "ice cream."

    Stay at home mom to a house of boys: two amazing stepsons, 12 and 9, and our 4 year old.

    Totally funny. That company is one of DHs clients.

    Now that you mention it, I don't know why we haven't gotten one as a freebie. LOL

  • When we were kids my mom used to pour heavy cream over sliced bananas and freeze them.  Not exactly healthy, but tasty.  Now we just eat them plain and I think they taste just as good-like ice cream.
  • I blend mine with vanilla almond milk and frozen blueberries to make milkshakes.
