How to Freeze Bananas
How to Freeze Bananas (whole + sliced) - learn how to freeze your bananas the right way so they are ready for smoothies, banana bread, or any other banana recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 banana or more - you can use this for as many bananas as you need to freeze
Instructions
Whole Bananas:
- Peel banana, leaving it whole.
- Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and place in freezer overnight.
- Take frozen whole bananas and place in a freezer-safe storage bag.
- Use as needed for recipes such as smoothies and banana bread.
Sliced Bananas:
- Peel banana and place on cutting board.
- Cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- Place slices flat on parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, trying not to have them touch too much.
- Place in freezer overnight.
- Use a spatula to lift up frozen banana slices and place in freezer-safe bag.
- Use as needed in recipes such as smoothies and banana bread.
Notes
- Over-Ripe Bananas: For the whole bananas feel free to use your super-ripe, brown bananas for freezing - they make the best banana bread!
- How long will they last: When kept at 0 degrees frozen bananas are good indefinitely; for best quality I would recommend using within 2-3 months, but they will be just fine beyond that.
