Notes
Baking time: Keep an eye on the oven as the cookies bake, since baking time depends on your oven's settings.
Parchment paper: Place parchment/greaseproof paper on top and gently press to help compact the mixture, even out the surface so that bars bake uniformly. It also improves the texture of banana bars.
Banana: Use a bit overripe bananas for the best taste without needing sweetener. The more the spots, the sweeter the bananas are.
Quantity: The number of bars you get from this recipe's measurement depends on the size you cut them. Unlike no bake date bars, we cut these banana bars into larger pieces, which gave us just 10 bars from the same baking dish used for our date bars. For smaller snack size portions, cut them into narrow pieces to get around 16 bars.
