When I have too many over ripe bananas, I will put them in the freezer, still in their skin, to use in smoothies.  I created this dish when I had too many bananas in the freezer and a bunch of bananas that were too ripe to eat out of hand. 

Even my kids will eat bananas fixed this way.

Yield: 4 servings

2 T canola oil
1 T butter

4 bananas, peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch thick slices

Heat oil and butter together until butter starts to sizzle, but not brown.  Add sliced bananas and sauté for 3-4 minutes.

2 T orange juice
1 T brown sugar
1/4 c coarsely chopped walnuts

Add rest of ingredients and continue stirring until the brown sugar is melted and the ingredients are blended together.

Hint: This would be very tasty served over peanut butter pancakes or waffles.
