When your bananas are on the turn (the blacker the better) pop them whole into the freezer without peeling. Defrost (in a bowl - they leak!) and snip off one end. You can then squeeze out your blob of banana mush, to be used in banana loaves, biscuits, muffins etc. with minimal mashing. It's true that bananas don't freeze at all well for raw consumption but they freeze like a dream for cake making.

Show more commentsGreat tip! I peel them before freezing and use them to make smoothies from frozen.
Such a good tip. I have a horror of food wastage and just because your bananas are getting overripe doesn't mean you are ready to bake something right away. With them in the freezer you can pick a time to use them that suits you.
(Also very true about the leaking.)
Brilliant tip! Thank you!
