Why these Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
- The riper the banana (more brown spots), the sweeter and more flavorful it is for baking and blending.
- Ripe bananas freeze perfectly — peel before freezing and store in a sealed bag for up to 3 months.
- In baking, ½ ripe banana replaces 1 egg — it adds moisture and binding without any animal products.
Storage:
- Keep ripe bananas at room temperature and use within 1–3 days.
- Freeze peeled bananas in a zip-lock bag for up to 3 months — perfect for smoothies and nice cream.
Tips:
- Speed up ripening by placing bananas (unpeeled) in a 150°C (300°F) oven for 15–20 minutes until the skins are black. The flesh will be perfectly soft and sweet.
- Frozen bananas make the creamiest smoothies — no ice needed.
