I tend to get a little ambitious about my banana buying. Everytime I buy a bunch of bananas, Im sure well gnaw our way through them once they hit their four-hour peak of perfectionthat ideal moment in time when they are neither green nor bruised, perfectly and ever-so-barely yellow. Apparently, however, that four-hour window happens in three seconds flat, and Im left with a bin of black bananas before I even remember Id purchased them in the first place. Good luck. There are more than a few incredible recipes that require a good, overripe banana. From twists on the traditional banana quick bread, to decadent banana cakes and other fun desserts, here are 15 recipes that will use up those black bananas in no time at all!
