Last week I declared my love of all things banana with a recipe for Coconut Banana Muffins. In staying true to the promise of never ending banana recipes I am sharing this yummy recipe for Frosted Banana Bars - delicious!
Last weekend we hosted a BBQ at our home for a group of adults from church and we had about 50 people in attendance. Everybody was supposed to bring either a salad or a dessert and I was told that I didn't need to provide either since I was providing the home. But my husband was aware of one attendee that was celebrating his birthday that night and asked that I make a "cake". I knew exactly what cake I was going to make until the day of the BBQ when my husband informed me that the cake couldn't be chocolate. While this recipe isn't truly a "cake", it became my back up (non-chocolate) plan. I'm so glad that it did. I love this recipe and only wish I had more reason to host large crowds so that I could make all of my favorite desserts, eat my one deliciously large piece and then be ensured that the rest would be eaten by others and not remain in my own fridge for me to feel obligated to eat!
