Bananas may be overripe if:

They show signs of mold.
They have an unpleasant or fermented odor.
The inside is dark or leaking.
If you notice these signs, it’s best to throw them out.

Creative ideas for using ripe bananas
If your bananas are still good, here are some ideas:

Banana bread: A classic!
Bananas Foster coffee cake: For a special treat.
Smoothies: Blend them into your favorite smoothies.
Hummingbird Bundt Cake: An easy and delicious option.
Remember, these overripe bananas won’t work for recipes where you want neat banana slices, like banana pudding. Happy cooking!
