I modified the recipe a bit by blending all the wet ingredients with 3 banana peels and 2 of the bananas. (Left the third out to be chopped and folded in for texture.) Besides a slightly darker batter and bread, taste was exactly the same. Blew my mind that I’ve been wasting banana peels my whole life when including them into a recipe was so easy. I’m going to do this with smoothies, baked goods, and pancakes from now on – any recipe where the peel can be blended so texture isn’t an issue.
I’ve been good about incorporating more peels, making stocks from trimmings, regrowing green onions etc. but wondered what some of y’all do – especially if random or obscure – to reduce food waste. Thanks!

In order for food to be wasted, it needs to be food first…
I used to steam finger bananas with the peels on them and eat them. Great for hemorrhoids. Never heard of baking them, it seems like they might become an unpleasant texture but I never tried them.
