Ripe bananas are useful things to have in the house but there is only so much banana bread anyone can eat.
Instead, here is recipe number 2 for easy home made foods to use reduce waste and use bananas in a different way.
Four ingredient cookies:
Having made plain cookies, I would recommend making these banana enhanced cookies.
Step 1 - Mash a ripe banana or two into a pulp
Step 2 - Add muesli until the mixture has stiffened (Adding Oats is optional)
Step 3 - Add a small handful of preferred vine fruits
Step 4 - Using a teaspoon, place small dollops of the mixture onto a baking tray covered with parchment paper and flatten slightly.
Step 6 - Cook for 15 mins on 180'C.
Step 7 - Turn them over and cook the bases for a few minutes if the undersides seem undercooked.
Step 8 - Put somewhere to cool.
Step 9 - Gently melt a about 10 pieces of chocolate in a Pyrex bowl placed over hot water, adding a tiny dash of cooking oil to make it easier to manage.
Step 10 - Decorate the cookies as desired with the melted chocolate, and let set in the fridge.
The original recipe uses desiccated coconut rather than muesli, but that is a matter of taste!
