Used 1/2C honey and about 1/3C sugar, and two bananas. Had fresh lime juice on hand, so used that in place of lemon. Baked in an 8x8" pan and wouldn't want to try it in a 13x9". The frosting is awesome. We were very pleased with these bars, but I think the honey definitely kicked it up a notch.

These are the best!! I have made them several times and always get raves. I use pecans instead of walnuts because that is what I prefer and always double the recipe for a 9x13 pan. Also use applesauce for half if not all of shortening with great results. Better if made the night before. Yummo!

These were really good. I used 2 bananas, no lemon juice or walnuts. I didn't make the frosting. The bars are very sweet, and I don't think they need it.

This was very easy to make, and tasted good. The only change I made was to add a whole banana to the icing because I didn't want to have half a ripe banana left over. The cake was a little dry, so I may add some sour cream next time. Thanks!

This should really be called banana cake not banana bars. It is definitely more like cake. This was a huge hit for Easter Sunday-a little crumbly and messy but tasted awesome.I did not have shortening so I used butter instead.

The bars were amazing! Almost like banana bread. I'm not too thrilled with the frosting though. I added some cinnamon and nutmeg to it hoping it would help and I think next time I'll find a different frosting for them. If not, the bars are great alone...maybe with some vanilla icecream! :)
