I love Banana anything!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your cooking thursday recipes and this sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteYumm~o!
ReplyDeleteLove banana bars, or monkey bars.
I've made this recipe before with one minor change ~ the frosting in the recipe that I have is called brown butter frosting and tastes like penuche (sorta).
Thanks for sharing the recipe, and I hope everyone gives this recipe a try :)

ReplyDeleteOhhh, that looks so good! Love banana cake so I know I'd like these bars too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this recipe. Some 20 years ago, a neighbor baked something just like this for me and I loved it. So happy now that I can bake it myself. Blessings to you this Mother's Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteYum. I make something very similar and they don't last long at all! So moist and delicious!
ReplyDeleteI almost always make banana bread with my old bananas but this looks and sounds SO good! I'm adding this recipe to my list. Thank you! 💜
ReplyDeleteLooks so good!
ReplyDeleteI used to work with a lady that always wanted us to bring our 'old' banana's. We were treated at least once a month to banana bread. :)
