Does anybody know is good and quick recipes with bananas?

This recipe will be for kids to make. The kids are any where from 8 to 12 years old, and they love bananas. I would like this to be made from scratch, not from a box.Does anybody know is good and quick recipes with bananas?
Peel bananas, cut into halfs crossways, put a popsicle stick in each flat end, freeze them on a cookie sheet, melt some chocolate chips (mint or plain) in the microwave or a double broiler and dip the frozen bananas in the chocolate (can also roll them in some chopped nuts) and re-freeze on the cookie sheet.








Also you can freeze banana pieces and blend them in a blender with other frozen fruit and some orange juice or pineapple juice or apple juice...and some milk if desired for a nice smoothie...Does anybody know is good and quick recipes with bananas?
I have a new favorite_ Peanut butter and banana sannwich. Whole wheat bread would be best and sliced the bananas in 1/4 inch all over the bread and enjoy!

Crunchy Monkey Peanut Butter-Banana Sticks





They're easy for the kids to make and who doesn't love food on a stick!
THis is really easy but needs parental supervisons. Don't peel the banana but cut a long line down the middle and kinda seperate it. Fill the opening with chocolate chips and mini marshmellows. Wrap foil around the bottom and sit it on a low heat grill till the stuff melts, then dig in. The peel sorta holds all the melty mushy goodness in.
My wife and I like to saute bananas in a little bit of butter (about a pat worth) with some brown sugar in a non-stick pan. The bananas and the carmel sauce the butter and brown sugar make a great flavor combination and can be served warm from the skillet or over vanilla ice cream. You can adjust the amount of butter and brown sugar to personal taste and for the number of kids.


Also grilled bananas are good. Just skewer them and put them on a dry grill on low heat until they get warm.
