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!

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.

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.

Awesome! Do not put in large jelly roll pan...put into two separate pans...it gets too mushy in the center if you don't.

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.

I used the recipe as a base and made a few changes to it. I only used 1 c. sugar, I substituted the butter for olive oil and I substituted 2 6 oz. strawberry yogert for the sour cream. I got 22 regular size cupcakes out of the batter and baked at 350 for 21 mins. I topped them off with strawberry cream cheese icing and sprinked them with chopped pecans. 1 - 8 oz. tub of strawberry cream cheese (at room temp) 4 tbls butter (at room temp) 1 - tbls vanilla extract 2 - cups of powdered sugar Combine all ingredients and mix until smooth and creamy.

These are tasty, but they're basically cake-like banana bread with cream cheese frosting. The frosting does complement the banana bread flavor nicely, but I wish the poster had included a frosting recipe instead of just telling us to use store-bought frosting. I think the name "bars" is a little misleading since it implies that these are more like cookies when they're basically cake. The flavor is best when the "bars" have completely cooled, so don't be in a rush to eat them.

The bars are great! I made them exactly as it says, and the only form of criticism I can offer, the next time I make it, I will use banana pudding/cool whip frosting. The cream cheese frosting was too sweet for me~BUT that is just me!
