Banana bread

INGREDIENTS
4 frozen bananas

DIRECTIONS

Place frozen bananas in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse several times to break into smaller pieces, then turn on and run for about five minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
The bananas will start to resemble soft serve in a few minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and place in freezer for about 15 minutes, if you'd like, or serve immediately. (Makes four 1/2 cup servings)

Bananas freeze well, just put them in the freezer with the skin on and use at a later date for baking etc.

Tin goose cafe banana bread. Very yummy and freezes well. You can find the recipe on here. Just use the search box.

My friend once had a plethora of bananas when we were visiting so she made us a lovely dessert which was basically bananas sliced lengthways or in smaller pieces, sauteed in butter in a frying pan. She then added some brandy and flamed it.
Personally I just sautee them in butter for a few mins then add some cinammon and maybe a bit of brown sugar, lovely served with cream or icecream and a good way to use them up in one go. My kids love it like this.

Here's a couple of dessert options for you sammy_girl.
