    Yes they should freeze well.
    Best to put them on a tray and open freeze first then add them to boxes or bags, this way they are a lot less likely to go squishy.
    BTW I have made these and have sprinkled a little coconut on top they went down a storm x
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    You'll only be able to freeze them if you do it quickly!

    Hi, can anyone tell me if you can freeze buns and cakes? I would like to be able to make quite a few and then "drip feed" them to the family;).

    I slice my banana loaf and then freeze it.

    You can also freeze the bananas with no problems.

    You can also freeze banana muffins (and defrost them in the microwave in about 10s)
