I have three ripe bananas sitting on my counter and need some ideas as to what to make with them. Any tried and true recipes?
Banana bread, banana muffins...
3 bananas works just about right for 2 loaves of banana bread..... yum!
Banana Bread.. So good and moist..
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 overripe bananas 3 will work
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla extract
1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Mash 2 of the bananas with a fork in a small bowl so they still have a bit of texture. Mix in an electric mixer the remaining bananas and sugar together for a good 3 minutes; you want a light and fluffy banana cream. Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla; beat well and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients just until incorporated; no need to overly blend. Fold in the nuts and the mashed bananas with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Give the pan a good rap on the counter to get any air bubbles out.
Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Don't get nervous if the banana bread develops a crack down the center of the loaf; that's no mistake, it's typical.
Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes or so, and then let it cool on a wire rack to cool.
PERFECT

You can add a cup of nuts if you like.
You could do banana pancakes. Just mix them in with the batter and yum!
banana bread or you can peel them, freeze them in a baggie, 3 is for one bread.
If you are not ready to make your Banana recipe now, you can freeze the bananas and make it next week.
I peel and freeze all my oldies for smoothies on Saturdays. Yum.
peel them, freeze them, then break one up and put in blender to make a smoothie with your favorite protein powder. To die for!
