I freeze them with their skin on and defrost when needed for cakes, squirt out the contents and stir through.

If you mash them and put them into snaplock bags, flatten them a bit then freeze. Would you be able to fit them in your freezer then?

Send them up to me Helen it has been urgently requested that I do a repeat making of the delicious, but utterly simple, banana loaf I made on Sunday. All mine are at the 'good for eating' stage right now so the requestees are gonna have to wait.
Chutney? As a change of pace from baking sweet stuff. I made one years ago that had banana along with other things in it. Very nice with a curry it was too. I know I still have the recipe somewhere. may even have to make that again as well now that it's popped into my head.
PS - apparently banana peel is excellent in the compost heap or even buried close to heavily flowering plants like roses. No idea if that's useful to you but thought I'd throw it in.

I peel them, cut them into rounds and freeze them. Then if I need a quick dessert - I throw them into the food processor with cream, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon and whizz - instant ice cream!
I do this too but don't add any sugar, my Grandies love it, sometimes for breakfast with their cereal. My daughter was horrified when the boys first told her that Nannan gave them ice cream for breakfast, that was until I explained what it was, lol.

Ha ha I can just see her face lol.
Yip same, I wouldn't add the sugar as nanas are so sweet however I had never heard of doing this so an awesome tip. Thank you to both ladies!

Ummm - I do NOT add sugar either .
BUT I thought you all need it in the recipe - will make a note who doesn't!
LOL :)

Like the other suggestions I just whizz up the frozen bananas on their own in a food processor and get instant ice cream! You could experiment with mixing things through it like peanut butter or chocolate chips or coconut or nuts or anything you can think of really.

If they aren't too far gone you can cut in half use an ice block stick in each & dip into melted chocolate then freeze on a tray. Nice frozen for the kids on a hot summers day.
