Do you still have super ripe bananas sitting on your counter?? I have yet another great banana recipe to share with you. This time I have a banana dessert for you.

I remember when I was pregnant with my oldest I hated making things with ripe bananas. I couldn’t do it for a long time after I had Ian. I take my ripe bananas and freeze them. This makes them extra slimy, but it helps to preserve them longer so you can use them still. Well let’s just say I got over being sick of bananas, and love them now!

Usually I make a cream cheese for these banana bars, but it was Sunday morning that I was making them for a family dinner. I had to use what I had in the house to make a dessert. I really liked the glaze that I made to put on top of them. Just as good as the cream cheese frosting.

Hope these banana recipes are extra helpful in getting a good use out of extra ripe bananas laying around your kitchen. Enjoy!
