My recipe requires 5 bananas to make 3 loaves. By freezing them first they become very liquid when thawed and incorporate quickly and easily into the batter.

Folks pay lots of money for dehydrated bananas in the grocery! They are great dehydrated...just eat as they are or mix them as a granola. There are many, many uses for these. I bought a couple of large sacks marked down for $.50 each at the grocery store, took them home and dehydrated 24 pounds of bananas. Talk about savings! If you don't have a dehydrator, I suppose there are other means to dehydrate, but you would be doing yourself a great service to purchase a good dehydrator. Dehydrate them!

Once you've had fresh the canned will never taste the same ;). As for the bananas, I'm not sure why it works but it does. I looked for an explanation on the internet but couldn't find much (although I did find some more great ideas). I think I would have to go with fresh pineapple.

I wonder if pulling the bananas apart works on the same principle as the banana hanger in that the bananas touching each other may bruise one another leading to faster ripening. I'll have to try the fried banana topping. Sounds good. =) Thanks for the tips Kathryn.

Over ripe bananas are good in a fried banana topping for pancakes or french toast. They can be used in banana bread or banana muffins. I had not heard that bananas could be frozen, but my family LOVES bananas so I may have to give this one a go - particularly covered in chocolate. Thanks for the tips.
