Banana Bars

These have been in our family for a long time. They originally come from my Great Aunt Doris and I am so glad she introduced these to us! I remember coming home from school and being so excited when my mom had a batch of these waiting for an after school treat. They definitely didn't last long in our house and now my family gets so excited when I say I'm going to whip these up! Give them a try!
