    Raise your hand if you had over-ripe bananas hanging out on your kitchen counter at least once. Yeah, me too. Many times, actually.

    what to do with over ripe bananas

      I don't know if I ever said thank you for including a link of mine. 🙁 What bad manners.

      So thank you! I love how you listed them by number of bananas used. Very helpful! 🙂

      Wow this compilation of recipes was a life saver for all those countless frozen bananas in my freezer- I was on the brink of tossing them all out to make room but, compelled by my guilt of wasting food, I looked for exactly what this page has: so many tasty sounding recipes! I think the bananas will be eaten one way or another after all.

        That's fantastic! I thought we all need a list like this. 🙂 So glad it's helpful! Thanks, Katelyn!

      I love that you mentioned how many bananas are used in each recipe; this was my starting point, I had too many over ripe bananas and needed a recipe which uses most! 🙂

      Great post! My favorite way to use them up is in muffins, yum! I also love freezing them for future recipes.

      I smash each one into a ziplock sandwich baggie, get all the air out and freeze them. When I want to bake with them, they are perfect to use even if they are a bit brown. They are great for banana bread and last in the freezer for a long time.
