Pam.does this keep well, I need to make a few things to take away with us friday, I will bake thursday and this reminds me of a banana walnut loaf my grandmother use to make, delish sliced and buttered with a cup of tea :-)

This is a cakey-slice that is great for lunch boxes - makes lots, keeps well and because of the oats allows you to believe you are giving the little darlings something 'healthy'! (From the Ghiradelli Chocolate Cookbook)

Golden Banana Bars
1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup soft butter
4 medium bananas, mashed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup choc chips

Heat oven to 350/180. Cream sugar and butter til fluffy. Add mashed banana, egg, vanilla and mix well. Combine dry ingredients in another bowl and then add to butter mixture with the choc chips.Stir well.
Spread into greased 9 x 13 baking pan and bake for 40 mins or until golden brown.Cool completely in pan on rack. Cut into bars to serve.

I have just made "Banana Caramel Bars" very nice thank you so much 245sam! Definately writing that in my recipe book.

Just freeze them.The outsides go black but the banana inside remains fine for baking.You just defrost (can even use a microwave), cut the end off and squeeze out the banana.It comes out like it was mashed. You wouldn't know it from fresh in a banana cake.

If they're not TOO overripe, and you're having a bbq, split them, fill with a few choc chips, a couple of marshmallows, a little butter and brown sugar, wrap in foil and stick 'em on the bbq while you're eating the main course. For the ultimate, add some whipped cream to serve. They're fantastic! Even my friend who hates bananas will eat these.
vinee, Jan 28, 11:59pm
theyre yukky nanas! and need mushing and baking and then taken to work for the boys to eat.
I do a pumpkin cake from the banana cake recipe and so I might switch it around and do a banana pie from my pumpkin pie recipe - if you see what I mean!
Otherwise I woulda fried them, made a caribean caramel sauce and crepes.

carot3, Jan 29, 4:23am
oh yeah, i remember my Dad used to make banana fritters and dust them with icing sugar while still hot and the sugar melts into them yum-o. I make them for my kidies from time to time but i love a heap of butter on mine :) p.s. pam.delilah for your bread/loaf, does the banana have to be over ripe or not! ta

My current fav is: Banana Bran muffins
3/4 C sugar (i use 2/3C), 1 C bran, 1 C flour, 4 tsp baking powder, 2 eggs, 100g butter melted, 1/2 C milk, 2 bananas mashed.
Preheat oven to 200c. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Beat eggs, melted butter & milk together with the bananas. Add dry ingredients and mix together to just combine. Spoon into the well greased muffin tins and bake for 10-15 mins.

I can only make muffins in 2 dozen batches, but here's my recipe (I say recipe, but I just throw it all together, especially the cream and milk)

5 c S/R flour, 3/4 c sugar, half tsp salt, about a cup of sultanas (if you want the extra fruit - leave out if you don't), chop up 4 brown bananas. Make a well in the middle of the flour, drop in your chopped bananas, don't stir yet. In separate jug, 4 x eggs and a good cup of thick cream (I have a house cow, so am lucky not to have to use butter for muffins!), whisk together, pour onto bananas in dry mixture, still not stirring yet, pour in approx 2 cups of milk (I just free pour, adding more if I need it) Stir gently together. Spoon into greased muffin tins. Bake at fan forced 190 degrees for 20 mins. Leave muffins in tin for 5 mins before turning out onto wire rack to cool. Can be frozen and reheated from frozen in microwave. (I live on a farm and make muffins all the time for morning tea)

I should also add that by using the basic muffin recipe above, you can substitute the bananas for chopped apples & mixed spice (sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top before baking), chopped apricots with orange zest/juice and choc chips, pineapple with coconut etc etc - the basic recipe is very good.
