Thank you for the ideas, they all sound lovely, and I have enough to try them all! First will be the microwave pudding.

Peeled, frozen bananas in zip-lock bags, make good ice cream if blended when frozen. You can add cream, choc sauce and nuts etc., before serving.

It goes well with:
Microwave Banana Pudding

100g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing dish
2 ripe bananas
100g sugar (I used soft brown)
100g self-raising flour
2 tsp ground cinnamon (I’m going to use ginger next time)
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk

Melt butter in a 1-litre baking dish until melted. Add 1½ bananas, mash into the melted butter, then add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, eggs and milk. Mix together well.
Slice the remaining banana over the top (I didn’t do this), then return to the microwave and cook on High for 5-8 mins until cooked through and risen. Keep an eye on it, 5 mins may be all it needs.

If you have a Cadbury’s Flake, crumble that over the top instead of sliced bananas for the last 3 mins of cooking.

Oh I loved baked rum bananas.

Slice up the bananas and cover them with quite a bit of golden syrup, brown sugar and some dollops of butter.

Cook in oven until bananas quite soft.

Eat with either custard or vanilla ice cream.

Very tasty but very fattening too.

You can freeze bananas. When defrosted they’re only fit for baking but it saves wasting them.

When DD did my shopping this week she bought rather a large bunch of bananas. I now have 5 left, all turning spotty. I love baking so look forward to making something tasty. I have Mary Berry's loaf recipe but fancy a change.
Recommendations please.
