Aging Bananas?

If bananas are ripening faster than you can find time to use them, here are a couple of options:
+ Put unpeeled bananas in the freezer to eat as "Banana Pops" or as suggested by a reader, use them for making banana bread (thanks Michelle).
+ Peel bananas, bag and freeze in quantities suitable for adding to fruit smoothies.
+ Peel and thinly slice bananas and place them in the dehydrator overnight for crisp banana chips...a great addition to trail-type mix or hot cereals.

great ideas! i like to take old bananas, peels and all & toss them in the freezer until i am ready to make banana nut bread. they thaw fine and make a delicious bread!

Some really great and simple ideas here! Really like the laundry soap tip! With a household of 5 and laundry detergent running 7,8 or 9 dollars a bottle, I plan to start on that one today! And we can all relate to the (dreaded) sock basket!!! We finally waved the white flag and just throw them all in baskets and let everyone "fish" for themselves, much better plan!! Thanks
