Here's my helpful tip for banana bread & fruit smoothies requiring overripe bananas. Whenever you have an overripe banana, peel it, place it in a zip-top sandwich baggie. Squeeze out the air. Zip closed. Squish the banana into a thin flat sheet. FREEZE. Store in the freezer, adding ripe bananas as they come along, till you have enough for your recipe. Defrosting is quick & easy. Don't worry if the juice separates, just dump all that squishy banana-y yumminess into the bowl & proceed with your recipe. Enjoy!
