My Best Banana Baking Recipes

July 25, 2023 By Lucy Mercer Leave a Comment

When you feed a family for decades, you learn a few tricks for making the most of what’s on hand. And that includes amassing tried-and-true recipes for baking with overripe bananas.

These are my favorite recipes for using the flesh of black, juicy bananas. The recipes share a common theme – butter, buttermilk and chocolate seem to make everything better.

Keep those overripe bananas out of the compost pile and try these sweet treats soon.

Besides banana goodies, I have a couple of go-to baked goodies that satisfy the need for sweet treats. My strawberry jam bars are gluten-free and perfect for sharing with g-free friends. And, of course, my rich, fudgy brownies are pretty much perfect. Give them a try!
