Your favourite banana recipes please.

Potassium or not, I still peeled the stringy bits off my breakfast banana.
It was too ripe for my taste and there are three more hanging there, so I'll have to investigate some of the recipes on this thread.

Today going to make a banana cobbler adapted from an easy peach recipe. Only used half quantities as just for me. I have also used this with frozen berries. It only takes moments to mix and is delicious!

I'm going to try the muffin recipes plus... maybe the brandy banana caramel dessert...to give to friends when I get out of jail. It's too sweet for me.
I love the ideas on GN.

Did you know that the stringy bits (usually 5) down the sides of bananas when you peel them, have more potassium than all the rest of the banana plus skin.

2 bananas sliced, 200g of frozen berries. Wizz with a stick blender. Voila!!! Nice cool dessert. ??

Into Brandy Snap Baskets add a small amount of warm caramel sauce. Then sliced bananas then a dollop of whipped cream. Finish with a drizzle of warm caramel sauce. We used to drive for miles to a restaurant that served these and when they closed I had to learn to make my own to appease the family.

Baked bananas with rum and brown sugar

Prue Leith's banana and oat sultana cookies (very healthy!)

sot soft

Cut bananas in half lengthways, then again widthways, so four pieces per banana.

Fry gently in butter until sot and golden brown. Remove from pan and keep warm.

Meanwhile toast some desiccated coconut until golden brown.

Add soft brown sugar to the melted butter and cook, stirring till caramelised. Stir in juice of one lime.

Serve 4 pieces of banana per person, with caramelised sauce poured over, and toasted coconut sprinkled on top.

We had banana custard this evening? real nursery food.

You can make banana curd - in the same way as you would make lemon curd, or the cookery writer Jack Monroe has an amazing recipe for a banana chilli ketchup!

Banana Oat cookies

2 cups Oats (I blend mine so it's fine)
2 ripe bananas

That makes the basic cookie but you can add vanilla, choc chips or dried fruit, coconut. Or put chocolate on them once they're cool.

Mix together, roll into balls, flatten onto a greased baking tray, bake 10 mins at 180°

Lovely for breakfast or school lunches, nice buttered too.

Thank you Phoenix, now I can admit that I do not really like bananas either, except, for some reason, banana fritters, but raw, cakes, ice cream or any other way, no thank you.

Not a recipe but I love bananas and custard.

I like the baked rum bananas recipe but use brandy instead. Have also done the same dish on the barbecue only wrapped the sliced bananas in foil.

I use overripe bananas in a smoothie.
Add your choice of milk, fruit juice, strawberries, blueberries etc and blend together.

Bananas can be sliced and used as an accompaniment to curries. I usually chop one over my breakfast cereal. If I have some left and going mushy, I mash them and stir them into any cake mixture. These recipes look good - I'm going to try them out too, for some variation!

Pancakes :::1 banana
2 eggs
1 large tablespoon of peanut butter.
Beat together. Drop spoonsful onto pan or griddle.
Eat with blueberries, maple syrup, cream or whatever you would like.
My DH and DGDs love them

None. Bananas are bleurgh!

Banana mashed with double cream and sprinkled with sugar. Not exactly a recipe but nice.

Ooh shysal that looks yummy! Normally I never eat any dairy or sugar, but I’ve fallen by the wayside these past few weeks

Made some muffins Lisagran, and added a blob of Nutella to each one, should have softened it to make marbling easier, but still delicious! Thank you.

If you end up with some over ripe bananas, these muffins are quick and easy. I only used 1/2 the amount of sugar

These recipes are all delicious- but I would urge you to try Nigel Slater’s Banana ice cream recipe - no equipment or churning needed.
