ROTFL! I don't want to count how many cryogenic bananas are in my freezer...and I've got a chest freezer in my living room!

(uh, well, no space in the kitchen, can't put it in the garage, so I cover it with a tablecloth at parties, and it becomes the bar)

Don't ask me how much stock I've got in there, either, ok?

They're great for smoothies like that too, and much less of a commitment than hours spent making bananna bread. I actually get a little panicky if I DON'T have banannas in my freezer, and a little crabby if boy eats them all before I can stash a few.
Love your blog, btw

The secret is to never stick them in the freezer. You have to make it right away.

See, brown and spotty bananas sit on my counter until they are about a minute shy of growing fruit flies. Then they become a baked good...and I do mean GOOD.

When a banana is at that point but I am not inclined to make banana goodies, that's when they get sliced up and frozen for smoothies.

Some orange juice, some banana, a few frozen berries, some flax seed oil and a tablespoon of wheat germ.

tell the hubster I will make him some bread.

I pulled all mine out to thaw and now they are smelling up the spare fridge in the garage. I just counted.....16....becoming compost bc they are so shriveled. Your blog makes my day, mostly bc I feel like it's not just me!

I whipped up a batch of delicious banana bread Sunday morning AFTER cooking the BF a fabulous breakfast....I'm definitely getting better in the kitchen. ;-)

Wow, must be something in the air... I too just did a frozen banana survey! And I just posted about my carbonated frozen bananas too.

My freezer count is definately under a dozen ;) I've been meaning to make my Sweets Alton Brown's banana frozen yogurt someday.

Another use for frozen bananas: as a kid I would buy chocolate coated frozen bananas at the wave pool, nibble off all the chocolate and then rub the frozen banana on my sunburned shoulders!

I am that way about great bread, I always freeze it thinking I'll make stuffing or something, but when I pull it out ... it goes right into the trash, where it should have been to begin with. I have never thought to freeze bananas. But you can bet I will try it now. lol.

Ha! I SO do the same thing! I think I have probably 6 or so in the freezer now. Wait, let me go confirm for you...OK, so I underestimated. I have 13 bananas frozen, waiting to be turned into steamy hot banana bread. :)

Or you could invite your husband to cook his grandmothers fabulous banana rum cake. It is his family recipe after all.

I had the same conversation with my better half this week when before leaving for a business trip I shoved three bananas in the freezer (to join the 6 others already in residence). He shook his head and asked me "why bother". I replied, "because someday you ARE going to wakeup to those banana pancakes...just not this year". As always, excellent insight on your part.
