Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas are sweeter and have a more intense flavor, making them ideal for these bars.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough bars. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the pan: This will help the bars hold together better.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set: Overbaking can dry out the bars.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container: This will help them stay fresh for up to a week.
