Got overripe bananas? Don’t toss them yet! Here are five ways you could use them…
1. Chocolate Banana Muffins: These vegan-friendly muffins were a huge hit at a friend’s potluck. Thanks to Clotilde’s recipe!
2. Empanada filling: Mash them up and put them in empanadas!
3. Classic Banana Bread: I used Elise’s recipe and threw in chopped walnuts.
4. Banana Smoothie: I don’t make smoothies often because I usually eat my fruit before I get the chance to blend them. But the great thing about this banana-date smoothie is that I usually have all the ingredients readily stocked: nut butter, cinnamon, dates, milk, yogurt, and bananas. A delicious way to start the morning!
5. Freeze ’em: Stick them in the freezer and figure out what to do with them later.
