Can I use ripened frozen bananas for banana bread? - eviltoast

Hey all,

I was making a smoothie for breakfast this morning, and was confused briefly as to where my frozen bananas went when I realized, whoops, I placed them in the fridge and not the freezer last I used them.

I’ve since put them back in the freezer, which I hope is foodsafe, but I was curious if I would be able to use them for banana bread if I ever make this mistake again. Based on smell and appearance, they seemed as though they’d be perfect for it, but figured I’d ask in case something differed based on water content of thawed frozen bananas, or if they lose certain qualities important for banana bread once frozen and thawed.

Thanks in advance!

    Using frozen overripe bananas is practically traditional for making banana bread - but if you allowed fully frozen food to thaw and then refroze it it may not be safe to eat.
