Banana's banana's What to do with all these banana's

I was able to get a bunch of free banana's after an event on the 4th of July.
Now they are starting to brown. Sadness starts to come, oh banana's please don't go brown...not yet.

We do love banana milk shakes & I do love banana bread. But there must be more yummy healthy amazing foods I could make with these banana's.

The benefits of banana's? As you may have seen on a previous post they are a great fruit.
Bananas
Protects your heart
Quiets a cough
Strengthens bones

What else does this help with?  Bananas Provide Energy, Potassium is Vital for Performance, Bananas Can Lift Your Spirits, (good one for ladies) Eat a Banana during Your Monthly Visitor, Increase Your Brain Power with Bananas, Bananas are Great for Pregnant Women, Bananas Help Soothe Ulcers & Bananas are Rich in Iron...
Wow now that we have learned more about the banana lets see some new recipes.

Banana Pancakes I
Prep Time: 5 Min
Cook Time: 10 Min
Ready In: 15 Min

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

Directions

  1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.
  2. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
  3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot. 

MY Banana milk shake:              
One that I always make is the milk shake I don't measer this I just throw it all in the blender.
What ever banana's need to be eaten the most 2 or 3
Milk we get 2% a few cups
Sometimes Vanilla Ice Cream a couple spoons (I don't do this so much any more if thinking healthy)
If I have strawberries or blue berries I throw some in. (all berries are great for you!)
The way I measure it is how much I know will fit in to the glasses that will be used. I eye ball it....

Blend it up & enjoy.

I hope that makes sense.

I love receips & I have a hard time not using one but this its a peice of cake you throw in what you know you like & blend.
Also I have added wheat germ for the benefits... it gave a slight nutty taste & is good for you.
