Luckily there are lots of yummy things you can do with overripe bananas. Banana bread is really the first thing that comes to mind, but sometimes that is a little more trouble than I have the energy or time to tackle.

I like to serve it with cherry yogurt and some V8 Fusion juice for a nice breakfast that energizes the kids and gives them a great start to the day!

We are really working hard to get my son to eat some fruits and vegetables as he doesn’t like either. Maybe I’ll try something like this and at least it’ll be a step in the right direction. Thanks for sharing.

Can you use honey instead of sugar?
Kristin says
I think that’s a great idea, Sonia! I have never done it myself but I would say give it a shot and see how it turns out. Let me know! 🙂

What else could you do with the bananas? I am interested in making this but not sure what to pair it with or put it on. Not a big fan of cherry yogurt. Looks yummy though!
Kristin says
You could put it on angel food cake or even pound cake. Pancakes or waffles would work too. Honestly, we usually just eat it without anything else! I have a few other recipes with bananas if you want something entirely different.
