{Fresh and Cool} Banana Bars

Some people think of bananas in the spring or summertime, but we eat bananas all the time.  They’re hearty and delicious, and so this recipe works even in the shorter, beautiful fall days.

I love to bake. It doesn’t matter if it’s cookies, muffins, for ourselves or someone else, it’s just fun to take a few simple ingredients and turn them into something that will be both nourishing and tasty.

This recipe comes from my mom. She’s a great baker, and people were always happy to see these bars coming. The bar has a fresh banana taste. It’s not overly sweet, but it’s definitely a fun treat – and the creamy icing is the perfect complement to the muffin-like bar. They’re great for a fun picnic or brunch event, and they’re easy to make, too!
