Very easy, but really just like banana bread, only baked in a jelly roll pan. I expect a bar to be firm enough to eat out of hand.

I added 1/4 cup of buttermilk with the sour cream (I didn't want to take any chances of them being dry.) I baked them 25 minutes and frosted with cream cheese frosting. My husband's response - "Now, that's what I'm talking about." We have tried several other banana bar recipes and none have been moist enough for our taste. This recipe is now going in the book. Thanks!!

Awesome, easy recipe. I made it exactly as directed above - my 3 yrd old even helped mush the bananas! I will be making these again soon!!
