12 delicious recipes for extra ripe bananas

We love bananas. Well I should say, we really like bananas. If we loved them I suppose we wouldn’t always wind up with an extra stash of extra ripes each week.  When motivated I make banana bread and I’ve been dying to make banana ‘ice cream‘ in our Vitamix, but more often than not, I’m embarrassed to say they wind up in the trash. Awful. They’re such a great, filling, portable and inexpensive fruit and snack that if you don’t finish your supply, take advantage of one of these great recipes to get great use. So many integrate banana to create healthy yet indulgent versions of old favorites, and others just enhance an already good recipe.
