Ripe Bananas are great to bake with, to freeze and to make morning oats with!!
Depending on where we’ve stayed, we’ve experienced different types of ants, palmetto bugs (cockroaches) and serious heat & humidity. This makes keeping food fresh very challenging. Our bananas get ripe really quick if they’re not eaten.
First, freezing bananas works great for stocking up bananas for banana bread. See this page for a banana muffin that I really liked. (Scroll down to the Banana Muffins photo.
One of my favorite breakfast treats is to have Morning Oats ready to go.
In searching for good ideas, I ran into these little babies. They’re delicious! Made with only a few ingredients, they’re a sweet and satisfying treat.
