Cook’s Notes and Tips:  

  • When bananas get too ripe, just toss them into the freezer.  When you need one for a recipe, just peel the banana (while frozen) like an apple.  Perfect when you need them for a recipe or a smoothie. 

  • But for this recipe, place frozen bananas into the microwave to defrost.  It’s best to have all ingredients at the same temperature before baking.
