Bananas can be peeled and placed in the freezer till you have enough time to make the banana bread. Upon thawing, they separate out so there is a lot of water. You can put it in, judging how wet the batter should be by eye. But if it is just too gross, you can add some applesauce to get the right moisture for the batter. The applesauce trick also works if you have fewer bananas than the recipe calls for, or if your friends find the over-ripe banana flavor too strong.
