For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the frosting. If you don't have walnuts on hand, pecans or almonds work well as substitutes. Be sure to use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture in the bars.

Feb 23, 2025The addition of walnuts gives these bars a lovely texture. I also tried adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter, which was a nice touch.
