How To Store Frozen Bananas

Store frozen banana treats in the freezer for up to 2 days for the best texture.

For best results:

  • Once fully frozen, lightly cover or loosely store in a freezer-safe container
  • Keep them in a single layer
  • Avoid sealing them in an airtight container immediately after freezing, which can make the bananas mushy
