Notes

Every time I have a few bananas that are overripe I pop the whole bananas with the peel on, into a large freezer bag. After thawing and peeling the frozen banana, it will come out of the peel in an essentially mashed texture and are perfect to make muffins or our delicious Banana Bread. The bananas can be frozen for up to 3–6 months
