This recipe for banana bars comes from my grandmother. In addition to my banana bread recipe, this is my other favorite way to use up brown bananas. Everyone in my family loves it! Plus, did you know you can freeze brown bananas, peels and all? Just stick them in your freezer and pull them out when you’re ready to bake with them.
