freezer burned bananas

Alright people, just in case you thought it was OK to bake cold banana bread batter in a propane oven, I regret to inform you that you are mistaken. Only add those freezer burned mashed bananas to the mixture when they are at room temperature. And take into your calculations that propane ovens burn hotter than electrical. That being said, here is my first island success recipe:

Gluten-Free Oat Banana Bread
2 cups Oat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
pinch of Salt
1/2 cup Butter (salted is best)
1cup Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
3 cups very ripe mashed Bananas
1 small handful of Rolled Oats (optional)
1 small handful of Chocolate Chips (also optional, but highly recommended)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or one of those spring release round pans.
Mix flour, baking soda and salt together.
In a separate bowl, mix the sugar and butter until creamy.
Pour in banana mush and eggs. Blend that stuff well.
Stir in the flour mixture but don't blend it, just stir it together. (This would be when you add the chocolate chips to the mix if you dare!)
Pour batter into pan, sprinkle rolled oats on top and bake for 60 minutes. ( Or until a toothpick comes out in the same condition it went in)
Let it cool for about 10 minutes.

Ta-da! No more moldy bananas.
