What is a good and simple dessert out of bananas?

Question

I have about 2kg (4lb) of bananas at home and I need to make something out of them real soon cause it's going bad because I bought them on sale.Please help!

Answer 1

You can peel them, cut them into slices and freeze them for up to six months! I keep loads of sliced bananas in the freezer to add to fruit smoothies. I prefer to freeze the fresh fruit that way I don't need ice to make the smoothie ice cold.

I also add the thawed out frozen banana slices to cakes and muffin mixes to make them more moist, and sneak in extra fruit without my kids knowing it.

Banana Bread is always good, but it's not going to use them all. But it is super good!!

250 g all-purpose flour
5 g baking soda
2 g salt
115 g butter
110 g brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
525 g mashed overripe bananas
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. 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 prepared loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

There's also a fabulous banana pudding/custard thing. Here's the recipe for that. I don't know if you have access to these ingredients, but we southerners love our banana pudding and could turn ALL those bananas into pudding very quicky.

Answer 2

Ooh, I have the best recipe for you! These are so good and so easy to make:

Banana and Kiwi Spring Rolls

about 3 large firm and ripe bananas
about 3 to 4 medium firm, ripe kiwis, peeled and sliced
about 6 spring roll wrappers (thawed if frozen)
3 tbsp of light brown sugar
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
peanut oil
powdered sugar

1. Cut a banana in half lenghtwise. Place the banana half, cut side up, on your work surface and position 3 to 5 kiwi slices (or as many as will fit without overlapping the slices). Top with the other banana half. Holding the banana firmly, cut it in half crosswise. Repeat with remaining bananas and kiwis.
2. Place spring roll wrapper on the work surface with a corner facing you. Place a stuffed banana half across the middle of the wrapper. Sprinkle the banana with 1 1/2 tsp of brown sugar. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the banana and tuck it under. Fold in the sides and roll the banana almost up to the end. Brush the top corner with a little egg white, roll up and press firmly to seal. Prepare the rest of the rolls the same way.
3. Pour oil to a depth of 2 inches into a wok or deep skillet and heat over medium-high heat to 375 degrees F. Fry the rolls, 3 at a time, until deep golden, about 4 minutes. Turn several times during the frying process. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer to a double layer of paper towels to drain. Repeat with the rest of the rolls.
4. Place the rolls on individual places, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately.

Annddd . . you can also do this without kiwis. I just used bananas. I sliced the bananas in half lengthwise, then just placed a banana half in the spring roll wrapper. Yum! I also used vanilla ice cream instead of powdered sugar. Many stores, including Wal-mart, sell spring roll wrappers, if you're having a hard time finding them. They were in the produce section, right by the tofu.

Answer 3

That happens to me also..So I freeze the over ripe bananas and later use them in banana bread. Yes they will turn brown in the freezer but doesn't matter as the best banana bread is made from over-ripe ones. However, if you have quite a few that are still yellow I suggest making a quick banana pudding using Jello brand vanilla pudding mix and vanilla wafer cookies. Layer the cookies, pudding, sliced bananas..then at the top add another layer of banana and go around the bowl with the cookies standing half way in the pudding. My family loves it.

Here is another recipe i have used..makes a great topping for ice cream...also i add a bit of cardamom to it.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMEOJ

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 10

Make Banana Bread- if you have cookbook it would be in the quick breads section. If you don't have a cookbook, just search for Banana Bread on the net and you'll probably find lots of recipes. With banana bread you need the bananas to be really ripe, so its perfect.
