Have you ever been to the store and there was a sale on bananas and you couldn’t resist it so you bought a whole bunch and when you got home you realized that there were way too many for you to eat raw and you needed a good recipe to help you use them all up?

Okay, sure, that was a very specific scenario we just concocted, but we all end up with a bunch of leftover bananas a day or two from going bad for one reason or another every once in a while. So the next time that this happens, try out one of these recipes.

Bananas Foster with Pound Cake

Bananas Foster, a classic New Orleans recipe comprised of bananas cooked in a dark brown sugar caramel sauce, is the definition of comfort food. This recipe from My Recipes pairs them with pound cake for an ooey, gooey, deliciously sinful dessert.

Vanilla Nice Cream With Real Vanilla Bean

This one goes out to all the vegans out there. And if you aren’t vegan, you may not have known that you can make something that tastes and feels basically almost exactly like ice cream with frozen bananas. Forks Over Knives has a recipe that includes real vanilla beans if you want to get fancy with it.
