I didn't care for these. The bars were pretty bland with a very sweet topping. Not very good.

GREAT FOR BANANA LOVERS!!! These are SO yummy!!!! I did add an egg and a couple dashes of cinnamon to the batter and it came out PERFECT!!!! The frosting was very good with double the banana. My bananas were VERY very ripe. No need to cut the brown spots off, it just adds more banana flavor.

These are amazing. Everyone who has tried it really likes it! I think the frosting turned out to be more of a thicker glaze, but it's still incredibly good. To reiterate what other users have posted, the frosting is a necessity.

SO DELICIOUS! I would either cook in a smaller pan or double the recipe to make them thicker. Other than that they were wonderful, and the FROSTING IS NECESSARY. It is wonderful!

I was expecting to make "bars" not cake like dessert. The flavor was ok but the texture is weird. My kids didn't really care for it.

Yummy!! I made these to use up some old bananas. My husband took them to work and his co-workers loved them and were asking for the recipe. The only change I made was to substitute applesauce for the shortening.

I made the frosting on deltaj's "frosted banana bars" and it turned out really good, BUT it was a litttlllleee too salty. I'd cut back to a pinch. (:

My kids love this! Thank you! I did make a couple changes after reading reviews...I made it with 3 bananas and then I used 1/2 c. brown sugar. Very, very good.

What a wonderful recipe. I was looking for an alternative to banana bread. This was delicious. My husband absolutely loved it. The only thing I did different was I used a glaze rather than frosting, but I am sure the frosting would have been just as good.

Outstanding! I added an extra banana for extra banana flavor. I also left out the lemon juice and nuts because I didn't have any, and it was still great. I would definitely double this for a 9x13 dish, otherwise I think they're too thin of a bar. I topped these with a banana/milk chocolate/cream cheese frosting. I made a basic cream cheese frosting, added one mashed banana, and about 3/4 cup milk chocolate chip, melted. My husband couldn't eat this fast enough! YUM!!

I'm sort of up in the air as to how many stars to give this recipe. I went w/ 5 because when it comes down to it, I probably could have eaten half the pan and I like that the recipe only calls for one banana...unlike banana bread which usually calls for at least 3.It is a great alternative when you don't have that many around. I didn't make the frosting since I was out of bananas and the bars themselves taste pretty much like banana bread, only a little sweater. I did add about 1 tsp of banana extract along w/ the vanilla. Otherwise, I stayed true to the recipe. Very good!

This recipe is fabulous!!! I followed the recipe exactly except I did add more bananas. I wanted to make this on a large sheet cake pan, so I doubled the recipe and the bananas! I didn't use the icing, because these were delicious with out it! Best Banana bars I have ever had! Thanks for sharing this Recipe!

Our family thought these bars were tooth-achingly sweet -- and that wasn't a good thing! I even reduced the sugar in the frosting and that didn't really make a difference. I'll keep looking for a new banana dessert recipe.

I was in a pinch before grocery day and needed a recipe for breakfast muffins without eggs. I prepared this batter before I went to bed and made muffins out of it first thing in the morning. They tasted wonderful but the ones we ate right out of the oven completely crumbled in our hands. We had the leftovers later that day and they were much better. Tasted JUST like banana bread but they were very soft and delicate. I altered the recipe just a bit because I was afraid they wouldn't rise properly after sitting in the fridge all night so I included both baking soda and baking powder. I also added about 1/2 tsp of butter flavoring. The batter was a little bit too much for 12 muffins. I filled them too full trying to use it all up and ended up with big flat muffin tops that stuck to the pan. Maybe next time I'll do 2 batches of mini-muffins.

I LIKE THIS RECIPE, MADE IT LAST NIGHT, BUT THE ICING TURNED VERY HARD ON TOP OF THE CAKE I MADE THEM INTO CUPCAKES AND ADDED SOME STAR SPRINKLES TO GET THE KIDS TO EAT THEM. MY HUSBAND ALSO ENJOYED THEM. KIDS HAVE YET TO TRY THEM.

This is an outstanding recipe, it was one of the hits of our son's graduation open house. Very moist, very sweet, very easy! I didn't use the lemon juice called for because I didn't have any, I don't know how they could have been any better. This ones a winner!
