Directions:

1. Peel the bananas and add to the blender
2. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to make a smooth paste
3. Add parchment paper to your trays
4. Spread the banana paste evenly on the tray
5. Pre-freeze when possible 
6. Freeze-dry (my cycle time was 39 hours)
7. Powder in blender or food processor
8. Store in jars for short-term use or in mylar bags for long-term storage
