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.

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.

Lots of tins and Pyrex at the thrift store. Used but still better quality than the crap at Walmart.

Oh I love the thrift stores where I am. I always find awesome stuff. I even find a few things to flip from time to time.

I used to live in a much bigger city with many Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc yet never find anything. I’m in a small town/rural setting now with one thrift store and it’s non-stop treasures. I think finding the bakeware for break won’t be a problem.
