I made so many desserts for Thanksgiving (Canadian) today. "5" Can you believe they are ALL AR. Yes, I would say I'm addicted. This was a favourite. I thought it sounded like it would be really good. It was - & even more so! Thanks Mary Sturgis for sharing the recipe.

Really rather quite good - I did make some changes based on a few of the other reviews (I only used one cup of sugar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 2 1/2 cups of mashed bananas), but they still turned out quite good. I also made a cream cheese icing for these because I was in the mood for one, and I didn't have any orange juice on hand anyway. Really, really good, sort of like a banana version of a carrot cake. I suspect it would be very good with the orange icing as well, which I'll have to try next time. Definitely a great use for bananas if you're wanting to make something other than banana bread!

I made these for a picnic and they were a big hit. The orange frosting was a very nice compliment to the banana cake.

Amazing! Note- I used 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/3 cup of OJ, 1/4 stick of butter, and the peel which made it taste more orangy and less sugary. :)

Absolutely amazing! So moist and just the right amount of sweetness. Because I changed the serving size to 9, I used two very ripe bananas and 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. *one more note, it took a bit longer in the oven - approx 30-35 mins. Overall: Superb! Thank you for a wonderful recipe!

By itself the banana "bar" had good flavour but it didn't cook all the way through in the amount it said to cook them. The frosting had great flavour and great colour. That being said I'm not sure what place it had on a banana "bar". My dad enjoyed them, but he enjoys anything food related. :P

These were wonderful - very moist! I added about half a cup of mini chocolate chips to the mix as I had them on hand. I didn't make the frosting as they were good without...easy recipe for the kids to help me with...thank you!

This turned out to be like a banana spice cake. I made some modifications to the recipe. First, I reduced the oil to 1/2 cup and added an additional 1/2 cup of mashed bananas. I reduced the sugar to 1 cup and baked in a 9 x 13 pan so it was almost like a cake. For the icing, I only had 2 cups of icing sugar and there was still plenty for the bars. Will definitely make again.

Everyone who has tried this bar recipe enjoys it. Since my daughter has an egg allergy, I replaced the eggs with milled flax seed and egg replacer (3 TBS +6 TBS milled flax seed; 3 tsp egg replacer + 3 TBS warm water whisked until frothy). Bars rose and held together well with the replacement. I also made these other adjustments: 1 1/2 c whole wheat pastry flour, 1/4 c wheat germ 1/4 c milled flax seed; 1/2 c applesauce + 1/2 c oil instead of full cup of oil; rapadura sugar instead of white sugar. This bar recipe is a great recipe to make for my daughter to replace the offered birthday cake at parties. A wonderful way to use ripe bananas.

My Hubby is a banana bread fanatic! I wanted to try something different and this recipe was delicious and moist! I did not use the frosting. I also modified a little- I used 1/2 c of unsweetened applesauce and reduced amount of oil to 1/2 c. I also reduced the amount of sugar to only 1 c. I baked in a 9x13 glass dish for about 30min on 350. Excellent! I've made it twice and the whole family loves it!

It's great but I only used 1 cup of sugar which was perfect or even less than a cup would be and frosting was too sweet for us so I added some shredded chocolate & that made the taste a little more balanced and looked beautiful next time I'll try to make the frosting with 2 cup of sugar or come up with different solution. It's very cake like texture not a bar for sure.

These were incredible. I agree with another comment that I read that this is a great way to use really ripe bananas instead of banana bread. I wouldn't change a thing. I love the frosting but I am sure that it would be great without it too or just a dusting of powdered sugar.

Just tried this recipe on a whim because usually make banana bread. I agree with other reviews. I get asked frequently by those who tried it when I first prepared it, "when are you going to make it again... it was some kind of good." It is sweet. It is very good.

This was a really good alternative to banana bread when you have a couple of ripe bananas you need to use up. I only had two eggs so I halved the recipe and put it in an 8x8. It was extremely moist and tender. This one's going in my recipe box!

I normally make banana bread with my ripe bananas. I wanted something different and ended up finding this yummy recipe. My daughter couldn't get enough of it as well as me and my husband. I ended up using 1/4 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of veg oil. Only because I was out of veg oil. It's a very cake like bar. We ate almost half of it before I got around to frosting it, but we loved the orange flavored frosting on it as well.
