Brown Bananas

August 3, 2014 By Sarah 'n Spice 9 Comments

Ever wonder what to do with those brown bananas you have lying around? Could you make Banana Bread…sure, but what if you don’t have the time? I’ve got a solution for you!

Brown Bananas

Take those brown bananas

Brown Bananas

Peel ’em

Brown Bananas

Throw them in a zip top bag, and freeze them

That’s it! It’s the perfect solution to sweetening up those homemade smoothies without adding sugar, and because they’re frozen, you don’t need to add ice to get it super cold! Embrace your brown bananas!

What do you guys do with your bananas as they’re going bad? I’d love to hear your great ideas!

    This is a great idea. You could blend the banana chunks up with some Nutella to make a banana and Nutella ice cream. In fact, I might do that now. I often use brown bananas in cakes or mashed up in homemade cereal bars.

    Greetings,perfect solution is too freeze as you suggest! I’ll usually whip up a quick dessert with them. Smashed Frozen Bananas and Peanut Butter/Chocolate Bars, posted on TK for your perusal. I have made frozen banana nut rounds (using a variety of chopped nuts to coat them) then freeze. Ideas are endless. Wishing you Good Health as always…Cheryl “Cheffie Cooks” Wiser.

        Hi, On TK Crunchy Frozen Banana Nut Rounds-I wrote that recipe in April I think. It’ll describe it better!
        The other one I think you viewed (recently posted on TK) that I mentioned in earlier comment. Banana muffins are obvious choice or banana bread. Banana-Frozen Vanilla Yogurt Smoothie with dash of cinnamon. So many uses so little time my friend! Cheryl “Cheffie Cooks” Wiser.

    Great idea! I usually throw mine in a smoothie when they get brown, but freezing them first is a great idea so that I don’t have to add ice!
