Notes: If you have little ones, they can participate by helping you smash the bananas. Kids can squash them with their bare hands in a bowl, or if that is too messy, put the bananas in a food storage bag and let them squeeze and smash. Not only does this help their self-esteem by contributing to the process, but it also helps their fine motor development in their arms and hands.
When I find myself with bananas that are too ripe to eat but I don't feel like making muffins at that moment, I freeze them for later. Simply peel them, put them in a storage bag, and place them in the freezer. You can use them in their frozen state for smoothies. To use them for baking, thaw them in the microwave.
