What to do with bruised bananas?

I forgot to take a bunch of about 8 bananas out of the car the other night and they all froze. They have thawed out and have completely bruised and turned black. Is there anything else to do with them other than banana bread or throwing them out? I would rather do something with them than just throwing them in the garbage.

    I like the idea of feeding them to the dog. 8^) But you could also make banana bread. Or pudding. Or mash them and combine them with peanut butter to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

    Bruised bananas make awesome smoothies! You can do peanut butter and banana, banana mango, banana strawberry, banana with chocolate syrup, there are so many options. You can also mash them and add them to pancakes, muffins, oatmeal, cream of wheat, waffles, etc. You can also mash them and put them on a sandwich with peanut butter and grill it like a grilled cheese with butter on the bread-it is fantastic!

    It's a free country...do what you want with your bruised banana.

    Well, you could throw them in the freezer and leave them until you're ready to make banana bread (the obvious thing to do with them).

    Otherwise, you could do banana pancakes, or try making a milkshake or smoothie with them.

    Actually it's just the skin that has changed. The bananas are still OK. You could peel them and freeze them for use later, use them for smoothies, slice them on cereal or over ice cream for a snack.

    I hate bruised bananas, my suggestion find a Labrador dog and feed them to it, those greedy things go ape for bananas and you will have made a best friend for life.

    What my mom used to do was make banana bread or banana muffins. It's healthy and its a great way to use up spoiled foods.

    You could make banana smoothies out of them. Black ones. Then you could serve them to Goths.

    Peel them and cut them up and keep them frozen to add to fruit smoothies.
