When we have bananas that are too ripe for eating (too bruised, old, soft and black) I save them. I let them get really ripe (almost fully black) and then stick them in the freezer for future use. I currently have 4 bananas in the freezer and there are 2 on the counter ripening some more just waiting to be put in the freezer. Whenever I am going to use them, I take them out of the freezer early in the day or the night before (to let them thaw) and then I peel 'em up and use 'em how I need 'em. (That was a lot of 'EMs huh)
I use them in pancakes, banana bread and as soon as Parker starts eating real food, I will use them for that, too.
That's what works for me. To get more tips go over to Rocks in my Dryer and check out the list!

I just put two bananas in the freezer this morning. I alway peel mine first, though.
Great tip. :)
I do the same thing! It sounds kind of strange, but if I need one and I've forgotten to take it out of the freezer, I put it in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes. It makes them a bit mushy, but that works well if I'm using them for baking.
Your Wednesday tips are great.
I do the same thing!
Unfortunately, I have about 10 bananas in the freezer for banana bread. I really need to start making bread and stop blogging :)
Umm, nevermind.
And they make great fake "iced lollies" for the kids.
Can you use black bananas in pancakes? I've only thought to use them for bread, and we use greeny-ripe ones in pancakes.
