Banana Bars Recipe
Directions
BARS:
  • Lightly grease a 15" x 10" x 1" baking pan and set aside.
  • Cream the margarine and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add eggs, bananas and vanilla and beat until well blended.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Beat mixture just enough to combine all ingredients evenly.

  • Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool bars before frosting.

FROSTING:
