can I freeze garlic and bananas that won't ripen

[Can You Guess?]

I even freeze my bananas in their skin. They slip right out into the mixing bowl when it is time to make banana bread.

All great suggestions, but I have to tell you, too late. I ended up throwing them in the compost. Next time I'll remember the gasing thing. As for now, I came back from camping with some over ripe bananas and will make banana muffins with them this week.
Thanks everyone!

My Grandma's Banana Muffin recipe (because the old recipes are the best!!)...

1/2 cup of oil
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 cup mashed banana (about 2 bananas) -- I use over-ripe and frozen then thawed, they seem juicier.
ADD: 1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt

Cook 15-20 minutes at 350.

I usually make a triple batch so that my entire oven is full. That's one loaf (same recipe makes loaf, but longer cooking time), and 18 muffins.

I'll post over in recipes too.
