5 Yummy Overripe Banana Recipes

Here are some great recipes to repurpose the over-ripe bananas and convert them into satisfying recipes.

Banana Pancakes

Make a smooth banana mash and mix it with flour, eggs, baking powder, and a dash of cinnamon. Pour the batter into a pan to make pancakes and fry on both sides. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Banana Cookies

Mix bananas with oats, peanut butter, and honey, along with chocolate chips or nuts. Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake until golden brown.

Banana Bread

Mash the bananas well and blend them with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and a hint of vanilla. Add nuts or chocolate chips to bring that extra texture. Pour the batter into a loaf tin and bake until golden brown.

Banana Halwa

Mash bananas and cook them with ghee, sugar, and cardamom until it thickens and turns golden brown. Add some chopped nuts to bring that extra crunch.

Banana Pudding

Make creamy banana pudding by mashing overripe bananas and folding them into a mixture of vanilla pudding, milk, and whipped cream.  Layer with vanilla wafers and banana slices in a dish. Refrigerate it for some time and serve.
