5 things to do with extra-ripe bananas (besides make banana bread)


Our family loves bananas! We buy them just about every time we go to the store. They are so healthy and make a great snack. Here are our favorite ways to use up extra-ripe bananas:
1. Make these easy, delicious, protein-packed pancakes for breakfast: http://www.blogilates.com/recipe-index/the-banana-pancakes-recipe-video
2. Chocolate dipped treats! Peel, slice, dip in chocolate, put on wax paper, sprinkle with oats or nuts and put in fridge to firm up for a delicious snack!
3. Peel, chop and freeze them in ziplock freezer bags to use later.
4. Add them to a smoothie (fresh or frozen).
5. Mash one up and feed to your baby...fresh baby food!
