They’ll keep in the freezerfor a few months, so don’t feel rushed to use them.
Though admittedly, we can’t wait more than a couple of days to whip up the next loaf.
Here’s how to do it:
Peel and mash the bananas.
Cut twelve 4x4-inch squares of plastic wrap and line each cup of a muffin pan with them.
Or use a silicone muffin pan and skip the plastic wrap.
Measure your desired amount of mashed banana into each cup, cover, andfreeze overnight.
(Freezing time will vary depending on the size of muffin pan and measuring scoop you use).
Once firmly frozen, unwrap the pan and remove the plastic wrap from the frozen banana cups.
Freeze 2 to 3 months.

Instead, follow these directions for how to freeze bananas in pieces.
Peel and cut bananas into pieces (it’s up to you how large the chunks are).
Arrange the banana pieces in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined tray or baking sheet.

Freeze 2 to 3 hours or until the bananas are firm.
Can You Freeze Bananas Whole?
Sure, though for most recipe purposes, having smaller or mashed bananas are easier to work with.

it’s possible for you to freeze whole, peeled bananas in large plastic bags like smaller banana chunks.
Freezing bananas in their peels causes them to turn a brown (or even black!)
None of your produce has to go to waste again!
