There is literally NEVER enough bananas in this house! We go through at least 2 bunches each week. It’s one of those items that I don’t even bother writing on my grocery shopping list because it’s a given that it will be coming home with me. All three of our boys love bananas and eat them for snacks, breakfast, even tucked into their lunchboxes. My favorite healthy late-night snack lately has been sliced bananas mixed into light vanilla yogurt – it keeps me away from the ice cream. Well, at least most nights it does. 😉

One thing my 3 kiddos can’t handle – brown bananas. They are so ridiculous with them. Once the small little brown spots start appearing on the banana peels, they’re paranoid that they’ve gone bad. Like really? You guys eat stale french fries off the van floor and you’re going to be picky about small brown spots on your bananas?

They will get to the point where they refuse to eat them and I was getting sick of just throwing away perfectly good bananas. About 3 months ago I started just putting them, peels and all, into a ziploc bag and sticking them in the freezer. I just about forgot they were in there when I realized I had this recipe to try out for you all! It worked fabulous and actually the super-brown bananas are super sweet and perfect in baked goods.

From frozen, just put each banana in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, turning over each time, to thaw. They don’t even need to be completely thawed, just enough to be able to mix in with the batter. I hope this tip helps you with your picky eaters as much as it helped me!

This bread is absolutely great for breakfast, dessert – I even put small pieces into the boys’ lunch boxes this week as a treat. I’m sure they enjoyed this banana bread more than the “bad” brown spotted bananas I give them sometimes. ?? Oh well!
