This recipe is from my sister, Linda. I had asked her for her banana bars recipe a couple of weeks ago because I remember how delicious they were. She’s been making these banana bars forever it seems and I needed to use our bananas before they were too ripe. Anyways, Linda sent me her recipe for which I am grateful because these are so delish. I used my own cream cheese frosting recipe which I absolutely love and together this is a winning combination. Linda also gave me a few other recipes which I will post soon. All are delish! Thank you sister!
