I have a ton of frozen bananas in the freezer.
Anyone have some great recipes besides bread, muffins and waffles?
Thanks!

frozen bananas are perfect for smoothies and oatmeal. here's a yummy baked banana oatmeal recipe:
-
@SupernovaJ: that looks great - thanks!
Have you ever tried making it with steel cut oats? Perhaps pre soaked? -
Yup you can make it with steel cut oats after they've been soaked. I usually just soak, or do half and half (1/2 regular and half steel cut) without soaking and it tastes fine.
You can also dress it up with nuts, dried fruit, coconut shreds, cinnamon or pumpkin spice, etc.
-
@SupernovaJ: ah, thanks! I think I'll try the half and half tonight!
-
@locavore_mama: You should post a pic of all your banana creations in this thread! When I was young, I used to love simple frozen bananas dipped in chocolate syrup. Something about frozen bananas and chocolate...yum. So naughty.
-
@SupernovaJ: How long do you have to soak the steal cut oats for?
-
@Sunshine710: I usually soak for around 2 hrs, or sometimes i will leave a bigger batch in the fridge with the oats soaking and eat throughout a couple of days.

I looooooove this banana bread recipe, and I've tried A LOT! I go a little lighter on the sugar though, it's pretty sweet.
Banana Bread (From Martha Stewart Living, August 2004)
Yield: 1 loaf
Ingredients
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan (if you use salted butter, decrease the salt to 1/2 tsp)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed very ripe bananas
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan; set aside. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, and beat to incorporate.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the butter mixture, and mix until just combined. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla; mix to combine. Stir in nuts, and pour into prepared pan.
Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes (check at 1 hour or sooner). Let rest in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool. -
@SupernovaJ: Thanks! I'm going to start soaking now and make the oatmeal tonight, looks amazing!

You could dip the bananas in pancake batter and fry those.. I think there was a HB post on that. I used a frozen banana in my green smoothie last night.. in warmer months we use frozen bananas up when making yogurt popsicles, but I guess that doesn't help you right now...
-
I second banana soft serve/ice cream. Sooo good!
-
@SupernovaJ: haha maybe I will!
@babyjmama: hehe I still have banana muffins in the freezer. I have a very similar recipe I've used for a decade! It's my favorite and so moist. But good idea on adding sour cream (I'll substitute full fat greek yogurt!)!

Blueberry Banana smoothie
I usually add about a cup of each fruit, then 1 cup milk, and about a tablespoon of peanut butter for some protein. Then just blend and enjoy!

@locavore_mama: pretty sure I didn't see the "besides muffins" /facepalm
