Looking forward to making this tomorrow. One thought: When in college, a dear friend used to freeze the older bananas and make banana bread as time allowed. Her budget was just perfect for purchasing the sale ‘older, dark’ bananas to make for youth function deserts. After college, I started doing the same thing. We purchase a bunch, and every time a few are ready for the trash (too dark for our liking) or even better, I freeze them, just as they are. When you are ready to bake with them, just put them out of the freezer a few hours before you need them, and clip off the top of the banana peel and the banana just slides out, soft and ready for blending. They’re perfect. The big joke in our home is our freezer is always full of bananas, so it’s always ‘banana bread time’. Just a thought for you frugal shoppers. It works…promise! Enjoy…Blessings, D

Looks like the freezing bananas is popular, I wonder why I have never tried it before? Thanks for the tips Anita and Amber!

I always stick them in a baggy peeled and freeze. You can also mash them in the baggy before you pop them in the freezer (lay flat and stack to save freezer space). I love banana bread! My moms side always sticks the bananas in the freezer…peel and all.

I agree! Banana bread is so fantastic, but add chocolate and it gets better – and yours looks extra tasty! I always leave my bananas a bit too long too, although I just peel and freeze them until I have enough time to make banana bread. Congrats on the Award!

Can I get a slice of that bread with my award? :)
Thank you so much! What an adorable award! I’m so honored!
Same goes in my house with bananas; my kids always ask for bananas, and they always just end up as a decoration in a fruit bowl until they are not quite so decorative any more :)
