    Tbh these don’t even look that bad. Even many times you peel one of these and they are totally fine on the inside

    There is a snack called appam made with wheat/rice flour, which calls for overripe bananas. For this level of browned bananas, you probably don’t even need to add sugar seperately.

    I wasn’t ready quite yet so I put them in a bag in the freezer.

    The bag got so full I had to move to a bigger bag.

    My freezer is half full of brown, frozen bananas.

    I don’t even like banana bread. Help.

      Bananas act as egg substitutes. Add to any sweet baked thing, like waffles or pancakes.

      Edit: peel them first, and put them on a plate in the freezer before you stick them in a freezer bag. It’s much less intimidating when you don’t have to deal with peeling a shitty slimy frozen banana.

      Edit edit: Muffins are superior.

    I love banana smoothie way more than banana bread. Put a couple ripe bananas, some sugar, milk, blend. Enjoy. Less effort and more bananas used.

    The key to amazing banana bread is to make it with soft, brown sugar. The stuff that is clumpy, glistening with moisture, reminiscent of molasses. It adds so much to the flavor. And actual nuts, of course.

      This makes me think you could use straight sorghum, or mix in some with brown sugar.

      Also makes me want to try panela, unrefined whole cane sugar from Central and South America

        I do in fact use unrefined, brown cane sugar, although I have not tried panela specifically.

        The one I use pretty much looks like this:

        It’s an organic fair trade brand, but I’d have to look up where it is imported from.

        As I said, I can’t imagine making it with any other kind of sugar any more. Sorghum seems like an interesting idea, might have to experiment with that.

    My Grandmother won’t eat them until they’re like this.

    I’m a ‘just a hint of green’ girl.

    You can make banane flambée !

    • Split the bananas length-wise as good as possible, they should split in 3.
    • lay them done in a pan
    • heat it until hot, no need to cook them too much
    • sprinkle with powdered sugar
    • prepare a shitshot glass of brown rhum and some matches (or lighter)
    • pour the shot on the bananas and light it on fire !!! 🔥
    • turn of the heat, let it extinguish buy itself

    Et voilà ! You have delicious caramelized banana desert!

    I like to make banana milk with those really brown bananas. In fact, I let them age just so they are nice and sweet.

    I take 1 or 2 bananas, break them in chunks and put them in a measuring cup that holds around 1L, add a bit of vanilla extract, fill with milk to cover banana chunks, blend with a stick blender until smooth, fill milk to the top, blend a bit more just to mix everything, done. Serves one (me) or two (regular) people.
