I've officially declared this the summer of bananas. I've baked up three different varieties of banana bread, and then I followed it up with these banana bars. I remember eating these little bars with their rich cream-cheese frosting at our after-church gatherings when I was a kid. These bars are so easy to bake, I'm not sure why I don't make them more often.
Well, I've remedied that this year. My husband and I enjoyed these banana bars so much, I made another batch the following weekend, which we shared with the neighbors. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much I as we do.
