How many times has someone spotted excess, overripe or just unused bananas in your kitchen and said, “uh-oh, looks like it’s time to make banana bread!” — as if the only things possible to do with a banana are eat it or turn it into bread? Well we say “no more.” With no particular offense meant to anyone’s banana bread recipe, we believe the humble banana is in fact as versatile as bacon or eggs, and we’ve got the internets to prove it.
Here’s our carefully curated list of 100 Things to Do with a Banana (not including banana bread). Yes, we’ve got plenty of banana breakfasts and banana desserts, but how about some banana curry, banana soup or a banana martini? And don’t worry, there are — of course — a few ways to eat banana with bacon.

Another great way to use up some old bananas is to chop them into scrambled eggs. They give a great flavor to the eggs and have a fantastic texture. Serve with french toast for a totally rad breakfast.
@ Caitlin. Um, what?!?! You add bananas into scrambled eggs? I need a detailed explanation before I vomit in my mouth. I can’t imagine this being good. But I am willing to listen.
Thing 101: Put nasty bananas in the trashcan
I know it sounds strange but I wish I could make banana baby food like you buy from gerbers. it is so delicious and good when my tummy is upset.

OMG I can’t believe this. I was just starring at my brown bananas today and thought to myself….I wish I had a list of things to do with bananas because I am always throwing them away because I wait too long to eat them.
So I hit my Stumble button because I am distracted from what I am supposed to do and I find this amazing list of 100 things to do with bananas?!?!?! I am so happy
thank you!!!!
Love all the eye candy! Bananas are my not-so-secret weapon in the kitchen. My favorite trick is using them to replace eggs in cookie recipes!
I also love more simple adaptations… Such as banana + peanut butter quesadillas! http://pursuitofhealthfulness.com/2011/02/27/so-long-friend/

Banana smoothies and banana crepes are quite popular here in our country. Now that banana with scrambled egg idea is something new.

This is a great listing. We always have leftover bananas, and I am getting sick of Choc Chip Banana bread, thanks for putting this together, it rocks. Can’t wait to look at the other pages listed too! Too bad I have to get some work done right now, dang it! Thanks again!
Yet it doesn’t have “practice using condoms”.
Intersting.
The open face banana and p/nut butter sandwich took me back to my childhood. My mother would make this sandwich on Saturdays for us. What a surprise to know it spans the generations.
I prefer cucumbers in the bedroom myself! SOOOO Much BIGGER!!!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!

Second recipe from left in top row – Homemade Almond Milk with Bananas and Honey – has a problem. Click on the link and sometimes you get the recipe. And other times you get an article titled “10 Top Sex Scandals.” Any chance you can correct this or change the recipe?
@Evan – weird! that is not happening for me….willcheck into this
This is the worst list ever. It is not a list, but a series of pictures with no descriptions. Utter crap.
This SHIT is BANANAS! B A N A N A S!!
Gingerbread in its many forms brings a touch of
history to the holidays. Although they are
a beautiful and calming sight, making sugarcraft
flower-topped cupcakes from scratch conjures up anything but calm.
When looking for centerpiece ideas, do not be afraid to venture into
centerpiece ideas for all sorts of occasions.
@azzman That is disgusting Children come on this site
You deserve to be thrown into a cell for the rest of your
Life
