Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Arrange unpeeled bananas on prepared baking sheet.
  2. Bake until banana skins are completely black all over, about 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely, then scoop banana pulp from the peel and mash.

Notes

  • Storage: To slow the ripening process of bananas, store them away from heat and direct sunlight and wrap banana stems tightly in plastic wrap (the ethylene gas is released through the banana stem, so you can reduce what is released if you wrap the stems). You can also transfer them to the fridge when they are at peak ripeness.
