Waaaay too tasty! It was hard for us to eat just one bar. This recipe is a keeper! I was going to try several banana bar recipes but this one turned out so well, there is no reason to try any more. Thanks for sharing!

I have been making this recipe forever. It is my favorite for ripe banana's. Not as dry as banana bread, my family loves it.

I needed to use up some bananas that were in my freezer plus go to a potluck so thought this would be a great recipe to make. HOWEVER I made mini cupcakes instead of the bars. They turned out great! It yielded 60 minis and I baked them at 350 for 12 min. I only made half the frosting and added that to some store bought cream cheese frosting that I already had in the frig. and also only used 1 cup powdered sugar. Then I topped the cupcakes with toasted, chopped walnuts. Needless to say there were no leftovers for me to bring home! Oh well, guess I'll just have to make more!!

Very good. I chunked some of the bananas instead of smashing them all. I added a bit of almond extract to the frosting and sprinkled the frosting with honey roasted almonds.

This is by far the best banana recipe I have ever made. I make this for breakfast and dessert treats. Everyone loves it!

There is something to be said for comfort food type desserts and THIS is one of them. Absolutely delicious and easy to prepare. I made them for a baby shower and the gals loved them. I really like that they are thinner and can be eaten with fingers instead of a fork. The cream cheese frosting is perfect...not too sweet. When my bananas get too ripe to eat, I put them in the freezer and then pull them out to make these bars.

I make this frequently, both for dessert and for breakfast treats. It always goes fast!

These are the best banana bars. I get asked to bake them often. You can change up the recipe if you like, but it is not necessary at all.

EXCELLENT! Super easy, one of my most requested desserts. Don't measure bananas...just use 3 spotty ones; it works every time. I, too, use a 9 x 13 pan. You won't be disappointed with this one.

My daughter and I just made these. Delicious! I don't have a 10 X 15 pan so I used a 9 X 13 and baked a little longer. I halved the frosting recipe and I used low fat cream cheese with wonderful results. I also added about 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts. We are throwing out our old banana bread recipe and replacing it with this!

I make these in a 9 x 13 pan and people can't get enough of them. They take a little longer to bake, but I just adjusted to that. I've made these in the 10 x 15 pan and they didn't go over as well. Today I just finished making them int he smaller pan and added chocolate chips to them....They were extra special. If you're worried about the calories, don't bake them.

My Mom has made these bars in the 50es but did not use the cream cheese we frosted them with a home cooked marshmellow topping then a thin frosting.

I made these bars, instead of my usual banana bread, and they were a huge hit. I brought them into work and had to give out the recipe. To save time, use store-bought cream cheese frosting.

I made these for the first time for a funeral this past weekend. I've had this recipe in my recipe box for years, but have never made it.

They were amazing! I had more people than I can remember ask me for the recipe! These were gone before everything else!

Thank you for a great recipe! I will try all the other recipes from your magazine that I have had for years now too!

I left the frosting off to shave off calories, and they still tasted pretty good - moist and fluffy.

I've made these moist, sweet bars a couple of times and my coworkers and husband are always excited to taste them. Excellent!

This recipe holds up well even with nuts added.Chopped walnuts added a little extra texture and worked out fabulously!
