Equipment
- 1 knife
- 1 cutting board
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 silicone baking mat or parchment paper
- 1 freezer-friendly bag
Ingredients
- 1 single banana any size
Instructions
- Peel bananas: Remove the peel from 1 single banana before prepping to freeze.
- Slice bananas (optional): You can freeze bananas whole, but it’s much easier to slice them into 1/2 inch slices and then freeze so you can grab as many or as little bananas slices as you need in the future.
- Flash freeze bananas: Flash freeze bananas on a flat surface like a baking sheet for about 2 hours so they’re solid.
- Add to freezer bag for longer storage: Once the slices have frozen solid, add the banana slices to a freezer-friendly bag or container to store for longer use – usually 1-2 months.

Notes
Banana quantity: This recipe uses one banana as an example, but follow the steps listed for as many bananas as you want to freeze.
Container suggestion: I suggest storing frozen bananas in an airtight freezer friendly silicone bag because you can remove excess air before closing, however you can also store in glass food storage containers.
