1. If you just can't wait for your bananas to go black, place yellow (not green) unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet and place in a heated oven for 15 minutes. Allow to cool. Peel and mash. You can also freeze black bananas until you are ready to use them. Thaw on the counter.

2. You can put chunks of ripe but firm banana and add it to the batter.

3. Banana Bread makes wonderful French Toast. Dip slices in egg and fry in butter. Yum!
