mashed banana in baggie Those browning bananas on your counter don't need to get thrown away, even if you aren't ready to use them right now. Freezing them is a great way to use them later in banana bread or any recipe that uses mashed banana.

Supplies:

overripe bananas
lemon juice
freezer bag

Steps:

Peel the bananas and put them in a bowl. Using a fork, mash them up to the desired consistency.

Add 1 tsp. of lemon juice per 1 cup of mashed banana. This will help keep them from turning brown.

Place them into a freezer bag and don't forget to label them with the date. NOTE: Mashed banana is good for 3-4 months, if stored properly in the freezer.

They're also excellent in fruit smoothies with fruit you've canned or frozen yourselft (rhubarb, apple sauce), with frozen fruit you've purchased or other things which have gone a bit soft and you've put in the freezer. The banana is so sweet no sugar is necessary.

I just peel mine and put them in a vacuum seal bag and vacuum seal them. When needed, I thaw them out in the sealed bag and mash them to use in whatever I need.

Usually banana bread. I buy the discounted ones.
