We’ve all been there—you buy a bunch of bananas with the best intentions, but before you know it, they’re sitting on the counter, turning brown, and looking a little too ripe for snacking. But don’t toss them! Those overripe bananas are little powerhouses of flavor and natural sweetness, perfect for all kinds of delicious recipes.

Whether you’re in the mood for something warm and comforting, light and refreshing, or even a little unexpected, there are plenty of ways to make the most of those brown bananas. This list is packed with ideas to help you turn them into something truly tasty. So before you throw them away, take a look—you might just find a new favorite way to use them!

My mom always made banana bread with them. I remember having an after-school banana bread snack, warm out of the oven and topped with butter. The butter would melt and flavor the bread even more. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Whatever you do, DO NOT throw your bananas away. Put them in the freezer until you are ready to use them.

  1. You have a banana recipe on your site that made a lot of bread.  It used sour cream and your had posted pictures of your daughter making it.   I can’t find it and it’s my family’s favorite.   Can you share it? 

  2. I also use them to make dog treats.
