If you have ripe bananas but aren’t ready to bake, freeze them! That way you’ll always have ripe bananas on hand.
Ways to Ripen Bananas Quickly
If you need to ripen bananas quickly, place them in a warm place or in a paper bag. This will speed up the ripening process.
Why Bake with Ripe Bananas?
Ripe bananas are sweeter and easier to mash, as they convert starches into sugars as they ripen. This improves the flavor of your desserts, avoiding the rubbery texture often found with underripe bananas.
When are bananas overripe?
Bananas may be overripe if:
They show signs of mold.
They have an unpleasant or fermented odor.
The inside is dark or leaking.
