I needed to whip up a fast dessert recently with ingredients I had on hand.
And I almost always seem to have a lingering 3 or 4 banana begging to be baked into bread or muffins.
I decided I would get as close as I could to a local bakery’s infamous Banana Cake.
It’s very moist, sweet, and tastes like the best banana anything you have ever tasted.
So I did a little research and gave it a shot.
I was not disappointed with this version of banana cake, more of a bar because it is rich & dense,
and I made mine gluten free too so I could enjoy them too!
Needless to say, the Banana Bars did not last long, and were the perfect treat for our casual get together.
They would make a wonderful after school snack too, and are so yummy don’t even need the frosting!
If you like, you can add your favorite nuts like pecans or walnuts as well, it will only make them
taste more fabulous.
Here is what I used to make my latest favorite treat, I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!!
