I feel like I’m the only one who finds brown bananas to be gross. When they get to that stage they lose out on their sweetness. The optimal time to eat a banana is a few days after it loses its woody texture for me.
Hot take, Bananas are good at all stages, just different. I love a firm, astringent green banana, I love a ripe yellow banana, I sweet spotty banana, and I love a boozy brown one. All good for...
Hot take, Bananas are good at all stages, just different. I love a firm, astringent green banana, I love a ripe yellow banana, I sweet spotty banana, and I love a boozy brown one. All good for different things: green/yellow are great in cereal, spotty bananas are champs of the tortilla, boozy browns kill it on fosters and breads.

spotty bananas are champs of the tortilla
I googled "banana tortilla", and found some recipes that just look like banana pancakes without the baking powder. I also found that people just use tortilla instead of bread and make peanut butter banana sandwiches. Are either of those what you're suggesting here?
Hahaha, I meant using a banana/peanut butter with tortilla instead of a bread - special shout out to La Tortilla Factory for their fat, chewy tortillas that work an absolute treat! I like banana...

I like banana pancakes too, but the tortilla wrap is a very easy, balanced, good to-go option for my everyday.
I mean I'm not a huge fan of them, but I also grew up being taught that food waste is awful so I try to use everything I can. I usually put them in smoothies over banana bread though because its...

There's a specific delicious consistency and flavor to the entirely yellow banana with zero spots. Green won't do. Spots are overripe. Chilled blemish free yellow is the way to go.
Not a word there about how it tastes. Speaking of asexual reproduction in fruit, I am not impressed with seedless watermelons. I’ve had a heck of a time getting any to grow in my yard, which...
Not a word there about how it tastes. Speaking of asexual reproduction in fruit, I am not impressed with seedless watermelons. I’ve had a heck of a time getting any to grow in my yard, which baffles me. When I was a kid we had them sprouting up all over the areas we’d spit out seeds. I live thousands of miles away now, but still. The summers aren’t that different.
For anyone interested in a recipe that uses underripe bananas, I really like this Banana pudding recipe, by Magnolia Bakery. I think it’s relatively simple as well and serves well at a potluck.

Banana bread stocks everywhere plummeting
Also peanut butter and banana sandwiches. I found browner bananas better for that application

I’m with you. Each type of banana has its application.

Banana pancakes are another simple method to get rid of overripe bananas. It's just bananas and eggs for a plain bapancake and it's already great.
I do the same, more or less. When bananas get too old they get peeled and frozen for use in recipes.

The banana will still ripen, it just won't turn brown. That seems fine for banana bread.
