So I went to the grocery store and spotted bags of bananas on clearance. In total, the bananas came out to $0.12/lb. that’s awesome but what do I do with them?

I know I need to do something that involves freezing them. They’re ripe but not brown/mushy/gross. I’d say I have 1 more day before they started getting really ripe.

I looked up freezing them on the Reynold’s website, but that article seemed more focused on SEO and promoting their parchment paper and zipper bags.

Do any of you recommend a “best” way to freeze them? Ideally, I’d like to use them on-demand in smoothies and buy some time to find a really good banana recipe like maybe a pudding or pie or something.

IDK about freezing them but you could make banana bread.

Best idea here. Make some loads of banana bread and give the extra to neighbors. Everyone loves banana bread, except commies.

Really? I figured commies would especially love it since A) it's free and B) it'll help with their starvation

If you peel them before you freeze them it works fine.

I just put them in a food prep container. Yeah you might get frost but really that shouldn't change much

I recommend peeling before freezing. It's kinda messy / a pain to peel after freezing.

Foezen bananas are good for smoothies, banana bread, etx

I put them in the freezer without peeling.

You have to cut the skin off later, but you also don't have to do any prep (peeling, bagging) before freezing them. Just toss the fuckers in.

I had an “automatic” bread maker but the belt broke then I broke it trying to take it apart. Maybe I’ll buy another one. Might be a good weekend to hit the thrift stores.

Do it the old fashioned way, in a bread tin in the oven. Banana bread is easy. You get more of the delicious caramelized crust on the bottom that way. Banana bread is easily frozen too.

I’ll need to buy a banana tin. I looked up recipes not for bread machine. Seems easy enough and I don’t mind running the oven on cold days.
