Well, next time you find a couple of ripe bananas give this recipe a try – they are so yummy! It makes a huge batch since it uses a big jellyroll pan so there are plenty to share. It’s a good “potluck” dessert since it makes so much My friend Jane Densley shared this recipe with me and it has become a family favorite. My favorite part is the cream cheese frosting on top. So if you have any leftover banana bars be sure and refrigerate them so the cream cheese doesn’t go bad.

My sis-in-law shared your blog with me several weeks ago, and it’s become one of my favorites. Last weekend we had lots of family in town for our daughter’s baby blessing, and it provided a chance for me to try out several of your recipes (e.g., Banana Bars, Lemon White Chunk Cookies, RK Treats, & Nordy Bars). I wanted to try a couple others, but I ran out of time & energy. Everything was yummy and was gobbled up quickly. I had lots of requests for the recipes, so I happily shared your site with them. Thanks so much for sharing!

I am so glad your family enjoyed all the fun treats – it sounds like you provided quite a spread. I visited your blog and saw your darling Ceseley. Glad she is doing so well. My Cali was 5 lbs. 4 oz. when we brought her home from the hospital – just a little bag of bones is what we called her. She was 4 weeks early too!
I made these this morning for my husband to take to a work meeting. I made him try them before he left–and he said that I might be setting the bar too high for the other wives!
I finally had some this afternoon–delicious. I’m not big on cream cheese frosting so I enjoyed mine without, but it was awesome. Thanks for posting this. We always have over ripe bananas and banana bread was getting old!
Made these for a church event and everyone loved them. Definitely will make again. Love how it makes a bunch for a big crowd.
