what is the logo of x doing here?
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.
Grill it with chocolate.
I have a chest freezer in my garage full of bananas that begs to differ.
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.
Let them spend some time in the freezer. There’s still a chance they could be used in pancakes or dog biscuits…
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!
prepare a shit glass of brown […]
I… don’t think I will
Sometimes I just hate the autocorrect on my phone… I meant to write “shot glass of rhum”
All good, I was making a joke :P
I have a female friend that just sprinkles cinnamon on it and mashes them with a fork and says it’s delicious. Yeah she’s crazy. I suggested putting some palm olive on it so it would make easier to scrape it into the garbage bin
Honestly sounds delicious
Yeah, but it tastes like ripe bananas with cinnamon. I also tried making banana ice cream (only ripe bananas, and stir it while it freezes. Didn’t become a fan. I just opted for not buying bananas
Sounds like you’re just not big on bananas
Yeah I can live without bananas. They’re not indigenous* to where I’m from (Portugal) so it makes little sense for me to pay for shipping from other countries while inevitably letting some go to spoil. There’s plenty of other fruit I can eat without making a bigger carbon footprint
*actually we have a variety of bananas from madeira island which is Portuguese. They are smaller than your regular banana but make up for it in taste cause they’re delicious (regular imported bananas don’t taste like much)
They’re totally edible
But I always make banana cake!!! Mmmmmm
My Grandmother won’t eat them until they’re like this.
I’m a ‘just a hint of green’ girl.
So you like 'em young and hard?
Sorry.
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.
Isn’t it reminiscent of molasses because brown sugar has molasses in it?
Yes, that is absolutely correct.
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.
Don’t tell me what I do and don’t do
Haha, I took this post as motivation to finally use up those frozen bananas I had. Now I have banana bread muffins in my freezer instead. It’s a good upgrade if you ask me.
Finally! A use for my old bananas AND excess nut butter!
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.
Make banana bread for friends or neighbors?
Buy a chest freezer
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 cut them up into chunks before freezing and then use for smoothies.
I estimate I make the banana bread 13-20% of the time.
