This recipe was Amazing. I agree with the other reviewers that it's not really a bar so much as a cake, but boy is it a Great cake! I halved the recipe and baked it in an 8" square pan same time/temp as recipe. Added a couple small palm fulls of walnuts, and about 1/2 t ground cinnamon, increased the banana slightly because I didn't want to throw any away and they just happened to be odd sized bananas! This recipe really is worthy of a homemade cream cheese frosting so just go ahead and omit that can of packaged stuff and make your own. It was also BF approved, he inhaled a piece in about 60 seconds and promptly declared it's what he wants for his bday cake in a few weeks =)

These are REALLY really good. I add about a 1/4 cup extra bananas and always make a double batch. LOVE it, great way to use those bananas up that brown so fast.

I love these! I've made them a few times and everyone always gobbles them up! I follow the recipe exact, except I don't frost them! They are perfect the way they are! Frosting just adds calories!

Wonderful, perfect banana flavor--complemented nicely with HOMEMADE cream cheese frosting. So moist and flavorful, I'm so glad I finally used this recipe! I used 1/2 sour cream, 1/2 vanilla yogurt, as it was what I had. Excellent. I cut the bars, then frosted, then cut lines into the frosting (looks prettier...will post photos). For each square, I decorated with some chopped up chocolate chips and walnuts. =) What a fun recipe!

I found this recipe similar to this on another site a few years ago and it has become one of my best sellers. I don't use canned frosting thought..i make a cream cheese frosting. I get an order for these bars once a week.

Wonderful...so soft and moist, I had a hard time keeping my hands off of them! I did change one thing, I made my own cream cheese frosting : * 1/2 cup of butter (1 stick), room temperature * 8 oz of Philly cream cheese (1 package), room temperature * 2 - 3 cups of powdered sugar * 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract With an electric mixer, mix the butter and cream cheese together, about 3 minutes on medium speed until very smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even mixing. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Slowly add the powdered sugar. Keep adding until you get to desired sweetness. use less sugar if you like more of a cheese flavor or more sugar for a sweeter flavor, I add about 1/4 cup of sugar at a time until I get the flavor just right!

Very good. Big hit on "painting day" as a sweet snack. Only problem was I did have a spot that didn't bake all the way through, even after baking longer than recipe called for and testing with a toothpick.

This recipe is very good. I substituted plain fat free yogurt for sourcream. I love that this recipe is lower in fat and uses fresh fruit!

These are delicious! I had to substitute vanilla yogurt for the sour cream, but they were still fantastic. Because of that substitution and the advice of another reviewer, I cut the sugar to one cup. I used Cream Cheese Frosting II from this site, and I will be making this a lot in the future!

4 1/2 stars actually. I used a 13x9 pan and baked 35 minutes. I DID find this recipe to be 'bar' like, not 'cake' like as some others have stated. Perhaps the smaller pan helped. Used 2 extra large bananas and 1 1/4 cups sour cream. Topped w/ 'Cream Cheese Frosting II' from this site.

VERY, Very tastey bars. Kind of cake like; but very moist and dense. The only thing I did different was the frosting. I'm not a cream cheese frosting fan! I used the frosting recipe from the White Texas Sheet Cake recipe from this sight. I put it on the bars while hot as directed on the "White Texas" recipe. Sprinkled some chopped pecans on top, too! I used lemon juice to knock down the sweetness in the frosting. Banana cake is always great with the tang of lemon. By the way it only took 20 min. to bake. Any more time and I think it would have made them dry. Watch carefully as in doesn't take long to bake because the pan is shallow.

These were delicious! The only part I didn't like was the kind of frosting I used. I bought a whipped cream cheese frosting in the can, next time I will get a regular cream cheese frosting or else just make it homemade.

Very good. I made a batch and my family (11 of us) had them gone in one day. They asked for more right away. I used the whipped cream cheese frosting from this site that someone else suggested. Great combination. Thanks for sharing.
