I was at my baby sister's house one day and her kids asked for banana bread for them and their friends. She opened the freezer and pulled out these dark brown bananas from everywhere in her freezer (not in bags, just loose). She had them tucked all over the place. She just tossed them in a bowl and after they started to thaw she just squeezed them out of the peels. She said that she never throws out over ripe nanna's, just tucks them in the freezer for later. The peels turn real dark brown but they make tasty bread. I do the same thing now. If I'm making any nut bread or muffins I add one just to keep them moist. |
