Recipes with Bananas

Ripe bananas sitting on the counter don't have to become waste. These recipes with bananas transform them into something genuinely delicious — from moist banana bread packed with walnuts and cinnamon to a creamy peanut butter smoothie, three-ingredient banana pancakes, and frozen banana nice cream that tastes like ice cream. Bananas are naturally sweet, which means these recipes need little or no added sugar. They're also a great source of potassium, vitamin B6, and fiber. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more banana-flavored it is — perfect for baking and smoothies. Use our AI recipe generator for more banana-based ideas.
