How to Freeze Bananas
Servings: 5 bananas
Freezing bananas might just be the smoothie hack you didn’t know you needed—until now. If you’ve ever watched your bananas turn from perfect to mush overnight (while you were just trying to keep your family alive), this one’s for you.
Equipment
- knife
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 5 bananas
Instructions
- Once your bananas have reached your preferred ripeness, peel each banana and slice in 1-2 inch pieces.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper then place the sliced bananas on the sheet so that they aren't touching each other.
- Freeze banana slices for 30 minutes or until completely frozen. Store in a freezer-safe container until you're ready to use.
Notes
- Labeling the storage containers with how many whole bananas are in them, or how many pieces make up a whole banana can be useful when needing a certain measurement.
- Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Bananas may turn brown in the freezer and that is OKAY. They didn't go bad or get too ripe, that's just what happens.
