Instead of tossing overripe bananas (face it, you’re just not going to make banana bread this time and no amount of disguise in oatmeal will fool your kid), chop them up and freeze them. Somehow when frozen they go from ick and gooey to syrupy sweet and delicious bite-size snacks. Extra credit: throw in frozen bananas into the blender with a squeeze of honey and you’ll get a really nice frozen smoothie.
