Can you force a banana to overrippen?

I want to make banana bread and I'm too impatient to wait for bananas to get to the point where they are good for bread. Can I artificially speed the process?

(Actually I have one banana ready but I need several others from the new bunch)

  • Yes put them in a paper bag

  • I think you can put it in a brown paper bag and then put it in a dark place like the microwave or cabinet.

  • If you are really in a rush and do not want to wait for the apple/paper bag (which works great) you can also put the banana in the oven at 300 degrees or so.  The skin will turn black and it will get mushy and ripe. 

     I did this for banana muffins a little while back.
