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.

1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 tsp baking powder
3 bananas, mashed
1 egg, well beaten

Cream together butter and sugar, mix in milk, sifted flour, bicarb, baking powder, and bananas.
Add egg, mix until all combined well.
Pour into prepared tin, bake for 40 mins or until baked.

From the All Recipes website I think... It's a fairly dense cake, not really light like a bread. I've had banana 'bread' from McCafe, which was quite dense, but it was toasted and spread with butter. My point is that this isn't like McCafe banana bread, but I think it would be yum sliced and given a bit of a toast..... Enjoy
