Banana recipes

Give me your faves. I have 6 beautifully black bananas on my counter!

I was thinking maybe banana cake with cream cheese frosting... that's always a hit here. But that only uses 2 bananas I think.

And nothing with nuts please! My little guy is allergic

Re: Banana recipes

just made banana bread this morning!


Ingredients
2 cups all purpose flour
1teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
2eggs, beaten
2 1/3 cups mashed overripe bananas


Directions
1 Preheatoven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. (I also coat all my cakes with sugar in the pan...it keeps it moist and so much better than flour!)

2 In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt (I add some cinnamon here too). In a separate bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into preparedloaf pan. (I sprinkle raw sugar on top)

3 Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes (for me it's usually done in 55 minutes - so check at the end), until a toothpick insertedinto center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack

Re: Banana recipes

My dad used to make us banana milk when we were kids.

Use a blender, or stick blender in a cup.

One very ripe banana, a cup or so of milk, a scoop of peanut butter, and a scoop of cocoa powder.

Blend and its amazing. The milk gets frothy and its kind of like a healthier milkshake.

Just saw the nut allergy, you can omit the peanut butter.

Re: Banana recipes

as promised:

Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies:

1 1/2 cups all purpose white flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, slightly softened
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup thoroughly mashed or pureed overripe banana
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup milk chocolate morsels, chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease several baking sheets or coat with nonstick spray.

In a medium bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until very well blended, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until evenly incorporated. Beat in the banana, then the flour mixture, until evenly incorporated. Stir in the oats and chocolate morsels until evenly incorporated.

Using an ice cream scoop or spoons, drop the dough onto the baking sheets in scant golf-ball-sized mounds, spacing about 2 1/2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, in the upper third of the oven for 10-14 minutes, or until lighly tinged with brown all over and almost firm when pressed in the centers. Reverse the sheet from front to back halfway through BAKING TO ENSURE EVEN BROWNING. tRANSFER THE SHEET TO A WIRE RACK AND LET STAND UNTIL THE COOKIES FIRM UP SLIGHTLY, 2-3 MINUTES. uSING A SPATULA, TRANSFER THE COOKIES TO WIRE RACKS. lET STAND UNTIL COMPLETELY COOLED. THESE COOKIES ARE BEST WHEN FRESH BUT MAY E STORED IN AN AIRTIGHT CONTAINER UP TO 4 DAYS OR FROZEN FOR UP TO A MONTH.
