- In a bowl mash bananas with a fork. Add baking soda, egg, sugar, yogurt, oil, and vanilla extract and mix well.

I know, it’s quite typical, but my most favourite way to use overripe bananas is to make banana bread.

This recipe below is my all-time favourite. I’ve been using it for more than 4 years already, and I don’t want to change a thing in it. Perhaps, just add a handful of chocolate chips from time to time. 🙂
You can also use your ripe bananas to make a delicious Peanut Butter Smoothie, Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes, or Banana Brownie with Peanut Butter Swirl.
