Don't get me wrong, there's nothing better than a good banana bread. Few desserts have its versatility: it can be enjoyed with a cup of coffee for a sweet start to the day, devoured as a hearty mid-afternoon snack or eaten as a delightful post-dinner treat.
But while banana bread definitely lives up to its hype, here are some other banana recipes to try in case you want to spice things up a little during quarantine.
Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie
The heavenly combination of peanut butter and banana shines through in this recipe with the added bonus of nonfat greek yogurt and flax seeds to give you the protein and energy you need to get through the day!

Three of the best desserts all rolled together in one delectable cookie! The use of cake mix gives these cookies a unique soft, fluffy texture that regular cookie mix couldn't hold a candle to.
Banana Pancakes
So good, there's even a song named after them. Fluffy, soft and not too sweet, these pancakes are sure to brighten up your morning. I recommend enjoying them with a little bit of butter and cinnamon and a light drizzle of maple syrup.
Banana Peanut Butter Cheesecake
Let's face it, quarantine has been stressful, anxiety-inducing and some days, just plain mind-numbing. Trust me when I say this cheesecake has the power to make all of your problems disappear. Pro tip: finish this off with a healthy layer of chocolate ganache drizzled right over the top.
Banana Bars
These bars are on the healthier side: made with coconut sugar and almond milk, they are even good for a post-workout snack!
