Made these yesterday and my family said this recipe is a keeper!I also made the cream cheese frosting but used my recipe: 1/2 stick butter,1-8oz cream cheese,2 cups powdered sugar,1 1/2 tsp.vanilla extract. Made my bars in a 9x13 pan and the frosting amount I made covers perfectly also garnished w/ crushed nuts.

This recipe is outstanding and I wouldn't change a thing. I would not dream of cutting the frosting to half or two thirds as suggested by some other reviewers. I bake all the time for my co-workers and they love these bars. It's perfect just the way it is. But then again, we love frosting. Thanks for the recipe!!

Yum! Next time I may even reduce the sugar a bit more! I didn't even make the frosting though, and these were still very good! They're very moist! I brought these to my gymnastics meet and they were a big hit!

These bars are SO good! I made some alterations and they still turned out great! (cut back on sugar, used 3/4 cup of vanilla yogurt & 1/4 cup sour cream, 3 bananas, added walnuts.) I also halved the frosting and STILL thought it was a little too much (but soooo tasty)

When I mix up a batch of these, I bake them using my muffin-top pans, then sandwich the "tops" together with the frosting. These freeze well!

These were great! They have a strong banana flavour, which we love. I used 3 mashed bananas and halved the frosting recipe, as suggested by another reviewer. The frosting was still very sweet. I will make this again and sometimes without the frosting.

Thanks to the many potlucks I've taken these to, there are lots of people sharing this recipe with others and getting rave reviews. I've made them at my grandson's request, into cupcakes, used the same frosting, for his classmates and the teacher made copies of the recipe while I was still passing out the cupcakes. Big, BIG hit at my house!!

Made them for fellowship after church. The were a hit! It's nice to have such a delicious use for just two ripe bananas...my banana bread recipe requires three.

I made these bars for the first time for the past weekend get-away with family. Were a big hit!! I also think I would cut the frosting recipe in half (I only used 3/4 of it), or maybe add less powdered sugar so not so sweet. I will definately make these again. Nice change from the usual banana bread!! Would also be deliscious with the tiny chocolate chips, or adding peanut butter to the frosting also.

I baked these bars for less than the recommended 20 minutes, as they were already pulling away from the sides of the pan. Otherwise, everything went off easily and without a hitch. Delish!

These are very good banana bars. I think next time, I will cut the frosting in half, too much frosting for me. The bars were already good, so much frosting seemed to overpower them.

These bars are very tasty. The only change I made to the recipe was to add 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter. The bars are still deliciously moist after 5 days. They also taste great without the frosting, just sprinkled lightly with powered sugar.
