101 ways with Ripe Bananas!!!!

Yes, I've done it again!!

Bought some lovely bananas, not ripe enough to eat, so I put them in the fruit bowl to ripen, and promptly forgot about them!!!

So I here I am left with 4 really ripe bananas, again!!

What shall I do with them? Throw them away - no!!

Banana muffins again???

No, don't fancy them!!

Something more healthy.... now that's an idea!!!

I had a trawl on the internet and came up with these!!!

Healthy Banana Flapjacks

So I weighed out the ingredients




Melted the butter and margarine (actually I used all butter, but you could use all margarine)

To the melted butter I mixed in the sugar and honey




Then the porridge oats




I mashed the bananas, and added them to the oat mix (I used double banana as I had so many!!)




Mixed them in well and put the mixture into a baking tin



Baked them for 15 minutes




Yummy, scrummy banana flapjacks!!!

I thought I'd better try them to make sure they were ok!!!!




Kindest wishes and love

Oooh yummy. I wonder if banana waffles are better? I prefer waffles to bananas...

Unknown said...

Nice work! I always wonder why the fruit is never ripe enough when you are wanting to eat it, then slimy and erky when you next spot it!!!

Vicki/Jake said...

Looks good! And not the pancake kind I was thinking.

Have you tried the 'Green Bags' yet? A friend gave me a couple and I love them.They keep the fruit and vegies lasting longer...I'm amazed how good they work.

Come see enter my giveaway on Change in a Bottle..

Now I need to buy some bananas, and let them get overly ripe. I can do that. Thanks for the recipe, sounds yummy and something my hubby will enjoy!

They look fab, I often suffer from what to do with over ripe bananas. Usually make a banana loaf or choc and banana muffins. Might give these a try though.

I love banana flapjacks, the others aren't so keen, so I tend to eat most of them"

Never tried these and as like you I always buy nanas and leave them to go too ripe i'm sure I must have some in the kitchen.
Something for the little man and I to do this afternoon I think :)
Hope you had a good weekend

Yum, these sound and look wonderful - if only we had smellivision I'm sure they'd smell great as well.

Banana milkshakes are a great use for over-ripe bananas but then I would say that as I'm hopeless in the kitchen.

Young at Heart said...

but beware those skins!! Now I just want banana muffins.........

Bunnym said...

You could of made a banana margarita and put up your feet...lol Well, at least that's what I would do...lol
It almost looks like a apple pan dowdy or some sort of cobbler...in any case..it looks scrumptious!
have a wonderful week,

tootles,

Take care

Kathy said...

mmm ... they look tasty. That always happens to me too - before you know it you've got disgusting black bananas in the fruit bowl.
I'm ashamed to say I usually throw them out - but your recipe looks good enough to try!
Maybe next time!
Love Kathy xxx

Alison said...

Hi Just found your blog via Pink Milk.

So glad I did....just love Flapjack of any kind.Problem is bananas don't hang around long enough in this house to over ripen. Perhaps if I hide them......

Suzy's Vintage Attic said...

What a delicious looking recipe. I will definitely try that one out. I love flapjacks and babanas so it will be perfect combination.

Homemade Banana milkshake is one of my favourites too. (Goats milk, ripe banana and a scoop of clotted cream vanilla ice cream...)

Warm wishes

Midstream Musings said...

Impressive! I've never had the privilege of trying a flapjack but it looks wonderful. Lucky the friends you invite over for tea! :)

Stella said...

Looks just perfect with a cup or tea or coffee. It is always a problem of what do with overripe bananas isn't it.

Blueberry Heart said...

oooh, that looks the business!!! I always end up ,aking banana bread and eating virtually the whole thing! Will be keeping this recipe handy!

Lx @ Twelve said...
