This is great! I did substitute 1/3 cup of Splenda plus 3 little "sugar in the raw" packets for the 1/2 c. sugar - it really was plenty sweet enough. I also did not have 1/2 cup of raisins, all I had was a couple of tablespoons left in a box. But we all loved it - in fact I am about to go in the kitchen and make more!

These taste fine, but I gave them four stars because they are a sweeter treat that is low in calories and fat. I used brown sugar instead of white and added ground flax seed, for health reasons. The bars turned out fine. But next time I will use a smaller cooking dish, probably 9x9, as they were very thin and fell apart easy.

Not great. A little too chewy/soft and needs some cinnamon sugar

We didn't really like these bars. Usually my son will eat any banana type bar/muffin, but the texture was not to any of our liking. We'll stick with our favorite banana bread or muffin.

So, I made these twice in one day. First time, I thought they were awesome but missing something. Second time, I looooved them. I increased oats to 1.5 cups. Increased bananas to 1.5 cups. Increased vanilla to 1.5 tsp. Increased cinnamon to 1.5 tsp. Increased vanilla to 1.5 tsp. Added 0.5 tsp Allspice. Added 0.5 tsp salt. Delicious!

Not bad. They grow on you. Much healthier than most banana bar recipes.

Good base recipe. I used old fashioned oats, cut oats to 2/3 cup, added 2/3 cup of white wheat flour, 1/2 tsp salt and reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup (half white, half brown). The result was a hearty bar that could be eaten for a snack or for breakfast. Not very sweet, but I was shooting for less of a dessert. Drizzled a little honey on my piece and it was perfect.

I LOVE these! We have dairy/egg allergies in our house so we make generous substitutions to make them allergy friendly, but they are a fun treat! We generally make them as a dessert and eliminate the sugar but add "safe" chocolate chips both in the batter and melted over the hot bars to make a sweet crust-like frosting.

I was looking for something different to do with three overripe bananas and found it but doubt I will do it again. It is definitely a strange texture with the oatmeal being the main binder. I may monkey around with this if I decide to try it again.
