I have a ton of overripe bananas in my freezer. A TON. I really need to use some to clear out some space in the freezer, so today I am planning on making my favorite banana bread recipe. The problem? It will probably only use about two bananas. I can double it and make extra bread, but I'll still have an overabundance of bananas.
So, what are your favorite recipes for overripe bananas? Can't be anything in which bananas are sliced because once they thaw out, these nanners will be nothing but mush. I'd love some recipes for things other than banana bread!

I just tried banana "icecream". For 2 servings I add 3 bananas to my food processor and some milk until it is the consistency of icecream. Then I add 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder. It's a great healthy desert.

Thanks for your input, ladies! I totally forgot about banana cookies 'til you posted your recipe, Sharon! I think I made them once before and they were amazing. I'll be trying your recipe for sure.
In case anyone is interested, I went a-pinterestin' and found some other recipes that looked really good:

One of my husbands favorite meals is what I call Island Chicken. I just cook the chicken and put some kind of fruit over it. I always have banana mash with it. I take a lot of ripe
bananas from the freezer, add some vanilla and add coconut milk to the frying pan and just cook them down. Sometimes I add crushed nuts. Sounds weird, I know but he loves it and I do use up a lot of bananas. Joey

Sharon, once again, your recipes make me drool.
Do you have a spare bedroom in CO that I can come & escape reality for a day, or 2, or a week, or a month???
