I was all set to make this with my frozen ripe bananas when I discovered I did not have enough. I didn't want to wait for new bananas to ripen and then discovered a trick on YouTube. I took my new unripe bananas, separated them and laid them down on a parchment covered rimmed baking sheet. Baked them (unpeeled) in a 300 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes. Voila...banana skins turned dark but insides were the perfect consistency of ripened bananas. Banana bread, here I come.
