What Do You Do With Black Bananas?

What do you do with black bananas? Do you save them forever desperately hoping someone will eat them, while you watch they get blacker and blacker?   

Eventually do you throw them out because no one will eat them? (in the composted of course).  If this you...next time, try freezing them.

Peel them first, throw them into a freezer bag, date the bag, and put them in your freezer for later. They are great for baking or in smoothies.  

If you don't want to freeze them, then make Banana Bread.
