I have the same problem atm. I've just made a banana cake and I'm about to make banana pikelets to freeze for the kids lunches.

Same problem here. I just peeled and froze 4 bananas because I have no idea what to do with them.

Sorry. Forgot about your diet.

It's good in smoothies - add a bit of natural yogurt, some wheat germ, a dash of honey...

My sister makes coconut bananas to serve with curry.

2 firm, ripe bananas, peeled, sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup desiccated coconut

Stir it all together - serve with curry as a side to reduce the burn.

Have a fabulous banana cake recipe, the main thing is it uses brown sugar instead of the usual white or raw. Its very moist, and the only banana cake I now make. I'll look for it if you want.
