When bananas are overly ripe they get this funny taste that I dont particularly care for. My husband doesn't even seem to notice it. If you don't like that taste, you can put a bit of cinnamon in. If my bananas are more towards the brown side I use it. If they are just starting to brown I don't. You don't especially notice the cinnamon but it balances everything out, in my opinion.
