Overripe bananas go in the freezer, not the bin
1

The darker the banana, the sweeter it is: the starch has turned to sugar. Perfect for baking.

2

Peel the bananas, cut into pieces or halves and freeze in a bag — up to 3 months.

3

For banana bread and muffins, thaw them and use them with the liquid they release.

4

Frozen chunks are the base for thick smoothies and banana "ice cream" with no sugar or ice.
