Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Crust: Using a stand or hand mixer, cream together the 3/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar until smooth. Add the flour and mix well.
- Place the mixture in a parchment-lined 13X9X2 inch baking pan, pressing the mixture firmly onto the base of the pan to form a packed, even layer.
- Bake the crust until lightly golden, about 20 to 25 minutes. Set aside until cool.
- Filling: in a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, vanilla and eggs well; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Combine the flour mixture with the egg mixture until thoroughly incorporated. Stir in the coconut and pecan pieces.
- Pour the filling over the cooled crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Bake until set, about 40 to 50 minutes. Cool before cutting and serving.
Tips:
- When preparing the crust, use cold butter. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming greasy.
- Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan. This will help to prevent it from cracking.
- Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
- When making the filling, be sure to use ripe bananas. This will give the filling a sweeter, more flavorful taste.
- Mash the bananas until they are smooth. This will help to create a creamy filling.
- Be sure to add the sugar, flour, and spices to the bananas before cooking. This will help to thicken the filling and give it a more complex flavor.
- Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent it from burning.
- Once the filling has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the filling onto the cooled crust. Be sure to spread it evenly.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help them to set.
