    I do banana muffins. I mix them in the cuisinart to beat out all the air, and they're very dense and delicious. My kids LOVE them!!!

    1 cup sugar
    2 cups flour
    1/3 cup milk mixed with
    1 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar
    Cinnamon to taste
    1 tsp. vanilla
    2 eggs
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1/2 cup butter
    2 really overripe bananas
    Opt. Nuts, chocolate chips, sour cream (I've only tried chocolate chips, and they sunk to the bottom-- but were still yummy! I prefer plain, though)

    Mix milk and lemon juice and let stand
    Sift flour, baking soda, and salt
    Cream butter and add sugar
    Add eggs, bananas, vanilla
    Alternate adding flour and milk mixtures
    Add cinnamon to taste
    Bake at 350 for about 25-30 min for muffins, 1hr for bread.

    Just add a banana or two to pancake mix and you've got banana pancakes.

    Thanks for the suggestion but we actually do banana pancakes waaaaay too often in our house because it's the only meal all 3 kids scarf up without having to yell, beg or plead! Lol!

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I think maybe what I'm looking for most are recipes that don't require a mixer. I just hate pulling it out. Although, I guess I should lug it out and start some holiday cookies soon anyhow.

    You can also just freeze them for the future. I buy them super ripe at the grocery at a huge discount, peel and freeze. They're great frozen added directly to the blender for smoothies or thawed for baking.

    You could also mash them up, thin them with a bit of milk or soy milk, pour the mixture into popsicle molds, and stick them in the freezer. Instant banana popsicles- yum!

    Also great to mash and add to oatmeal, if your family does oatmeal.
