Someone told me you can freeze bananas for later use in banana bread. This was great news because whenever I buy bananas, I get sick of them before I finish the bunch. One or two get all brown and gross, and I chuck them into the woods outside my apartment in hopes that local deer or squirrels will enjoy the potassi-yummy goodness.
When my next banana started to turn, I just threw the whole thing in the freezer. I wasn't really thinking ahead.
Oh let me be your sledgehammer. |
A better idea is to cut the banana into pieces and put them in a freezer bag.
Don't mind the freezerburn. |
Thankfully, bananas thaw quickly. When they do, you basically throw everything into a bowl, mix it up, pour it in a pan, and bake it.
Bready to eat! |
It tastes good, and it makes your home smell good. And if you're like me and require constant validation, bring a loaf to work and bask in compliments.
