I love bananas. (Maybe because the word "banana" rhymes with "Hannah".) However, as with most things in my life, I'm very particular about the way I like them. I will only eat a banana that is still just a little green and it must be freckle-free. Since I'm the only one eating my bananas, sometimes I can't get to them before they get past the opportune banana lifecycle. Being picky about your bananas, amongst many other things, can sometimes lead to missed opportunities. But brown bananas need love, too. So I decided to look past all the freckles and yellow and brown (okay, let's be honest...totally brown) peel, and put these bananas to good use. I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe when you find yourself with some bananas that need some love.
