Best way to defrost bananas?

[Amy :-)]

A little fruit and vegie shop in my area sells frozen bananas for $2.00 per kilo, so I figured this would be a good way to buy bananas for baking. I was just wondering how best to defrost them? Should I just leave them in the fridge overnight? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!

I freeze them, pull them out & within 2 hours they are ready to use.

P.S. i freeze everything

i would take them out of the freezer, a few minutes later  cut it in 1/2 ,wait 5 to 10 minutes then peel and chop whlie still frozen
or you could place it the M/W after you have cut it in 1/2 on deforst for 2mins

or just slice them up while still frozen

are they frozen with the peel on ?

I put them  on the kitchen bench and they defrost really quickly oe several hours- i obviously only do that if I'm using them that day eg smoothies etc. if I need them the following day I'll defrost them in the fridge overnight and then take them out in the morning.

No Uni, the nice lady who owns the shop peels them all and wraps them in glad wrap. She's got a couple of freezers full of them.
I tried putting them in the microwave but they went really watery, so I was worried they would make my cake batter really runny.

I like leaving them frozen for smoothies
Do yours go watery if just left in the fridge, Merlin?

I don't think I'm going to get the chance to defrost any more bananas.... I have discovered how delicious they are eaten straight out of the freezer. Just like a banana icecream
Also a lot cheaper than buying fresh bananas.

I love frozen banana's whenever I see some going cheap because the skin is a bit brown I buy them and freeze them, yummy just whizzed up , banana icecream, and I have some every morning in my smoothie...
