I add them to my compost bin. From my experience, they are fine for anything.

I've used them as components of plant mulch now and then.

Also roses love banana peels.
I prefer to compost stuff like that first, tho.

It's a good idea to add them along with a regular fertilizer or compost addition as the coffee aids in the development of beneficial bacteria which complements the fertilizer application.
