Please help! I got a box of bananas for free today. What can I do with them all? (I’ve already made 2 loaves of banana bread.)
(More are under the 1st layer.) I also have my dehydrater full and going.

Banana pudding? Freeze some for banana ice cream! Cut them in slices, sandwich some peanut butter in between them, dip in melted chocolate & freeze. Yum!

Peel and freeze them before they get over ripe. You can pull them out of the freezer to eat, use them for smoothies, or in recipes.

You can freeze them. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Peel bananas and cut into 1/2 in rounds. Freeze solid in an hour or so. Store in freezer bag or airtight container up to 3 months.
Make bananas foster with some of them before freezing. Serve over pancakes.
