Black Bottom Banana Bars- Taste of Home Tuesday
A little while back, I issued myself a challenge to clear out my pantry and freezer. I've done a good job with it, but I still was looking to reduce it more. My guys are infamous for not finishing a bunch of bananas, and the result of that is bags that contain 2 or 3 peeled bananas piling up in the freezer. My go-to is normally banana bread, but I'd printed this recipe a while back, and thought I would give it a try.
I made no changes at all to the recipe. I was distracted while dividing the batter, so my layers came out a little closer to even. Doesn't matter. They're delicious. They're not super sweet, and they've got fruit, so they're great for breakfast as well as dessert! I made a single pan, but the next time I make them, I will double it, because they went fast. Thank you so much to Rene W for sharing the recipe!
