Just checking to make sure it is 11/2med. bananas or 11/2 cups of bananas in the main recipes. Sound yummy and would like to make for coofee hour at churc next week. Thanks
Yes! It's only one and a half bananas in the bars (and the other half of the second banana is for the frosting). It doesn't take quite as much as banana breads take! I hope you like them-- the tray I made a few hours ago is already more than half gone! :)
