**Mash bananas well with a fork so they retain a texture and some chunks
**Don't blend them smooth in a blender because when used in a recipe, your baked good will become too dense and rubbery
**Speed-ripen bananas in the microwave. Pierce with a fork on outside in a few places making sure you reach the banana. Then, microwave whole, in peel for 1 1/2 minutes on high.
