    They freeze wonderfully and are great for smoothies or in oatmeal. You can let some go brown and make them into banana bread which also freezes and keeps well.

    You could cut and freeze them for smoothies, or mash into ice cube trays and then freeze.
    I’m curious if you could dehydrate and then turn into powder as well.

    Cut and freeze for smoothies or make banana bread and pancakes.

    You can freeze but please peel them beforehand. After they are frozen they turn mushy and are unpleasant to peel, and thats if you remember to thaw them. If you are in a rush you will have to cut them away like a mushy orange. If you have the freezer space you can put them on parchment paper on a cookie tray and freeze them, then add them all to a bag. That way you dont have to use an ice pick to get out what you want.

    In addition to the other great ideas like freezing I submit chips.

    Slice about ten of them thinly (6mm or so). Toss in one lemon worth of juice. Bake at 93c (200F) for an hr, flip and cook another hour.

    Congrats you just made healthy banana chips.

    peel, cover in chocolate and freeze. Make banana bread, banana pudding, smoothies, banana cream pies. You can freeze for smoothies.

    Peel em and freeze em, great for smoothies. Or make banana pudding and/or banana bread with whatever you cant put in the freezer. Also use em for pancakes. Many recipes on Pinterest if you cant find jt here. So many things you do with bananas

    Let them get very ripe, then peel and put in a big ziplock bag, about 6 bananas to a large bag. Knead the bag so they get smooshed, then freeze it flat. You can then break off frozen chunks to put into smoothies. Much easier than freezing in ice cube trays.

    Let them get as black as possible without them falling apart when you pick them up and make banana bread
