GOT RIPE BANANAS!?

2 delicious recipes to make with ripe bananas!

We all have good intentions when it comes to eating those bananas when we leave the grocery store. But, man those things ripen fast sometimes, don’t they!?

I have been having some fun making new things besides banana bread with those ripe bananas!


Here are my top 2 recipes to bake with those ripe bananas!

Baked Oatmeal, with/without blueberries!

I found this delicious recipe that included the frozen blueberries I still had in the freezer! I also added some chocolate chips! Because it is ALWAYS a good idea to add chocolate chips!

You can make this the night before to pop it in the oven right away in the morning! You can also drizzle a little bit of maple syrup on top too! SOOOO YUMMY!

I’ve made this multiple times & it’s soooo yummy!

Banana Bread of course!

I am sharing the recipe I have used for nearly 16 years! This recipe was written down in my journal so long ago! I have used that journal every single time to make the bread. I finally make a photocopy of it to have on hand. The pages of that piece are so filled with the makings of bread before.
