Going Bananas

Mary Ann and I like bananas, but we both feel that there is a small window of time that bananas are just the right ripeness.  Usually we have one or two that get over ripe before we want it.  So I just toss it in the freezer and wait for a chance to make some banana bread.  This morning as I was tossing two more into the freezer I noticed that I already had 20 in there.  It was time to do something with them.  I made four loaves of banana bread. I added chocolate chips to two loaves and toasted almonds to the remaining loaves.

The banana bread only used 8 bananas so I thought I would make a treat for the dogs.  In a food processor I added the remaining bananas along with a half cup of peanut butter.  We also had a few dried banana chips that I added for texture. I scooped the mixture into mini muffin tins and froze.  They are great treats for hot summer days.
