I was looking for a recipe to use up some ripe bananas I had on hand and this is a winner! Because of food allergies in our home, I'm always modifying recipes to meet those needs. So I used almond milk in place of buttermilk, and 1 c. buckwheat flour with 1\/2 c. rice flour in place of the all purpose flour. We will be having these yummy bars again!<\/p>","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"02\/15\/2011 12:58","GUID":"169D9F5E4BF9489E9EC6A0D57F6EC39A","MemberId":4393852,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"semuller","SubmittedDate":"02\/15\/2011 12:58"},{"Comment":"
I have been using this recipe for years (since it first appeared in Taste Recipes magazine probably 10 or 12 years ago). It is a FAVORITE in our house. It is very moist and tops banana bread by a mile! My kids used to leave three bananas uneaten on purpose just so I'd make this! :-)<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"12\/03\/2010 08:09","GUID":"03d51deda573419dbf3a3ad7c2e72846","MemberId":5650550,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"yehaws","SubmittedDate":"12\/03\/2010 08:09"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"04\/01\/2009 13:42","GUID":"1CA78C09C0A342ADA412E8BDECFB630F","MemberId":613698,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"brist@cox.net","SubmittedDate":"04\/01\/2009 13:42"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"11\/23\/2007 15:09","GUID":"DF224589F5A448E593DDD17557F89286","MemberId":1720429,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"britgreen","SubmittedDate":"11\/23\/2007 15:09"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"09\/10\/2006 17:04","GUID":"80C0A6D14FDA492C9C12347EAD1CEA32","MemberId":257578,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"misscleocat","SubmittedDate":"09\/10\/2006 17:04"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"03\/09\/2006 08:50","GUID":"3dbc899365e2400784f258b55c88ee70","MemberId":1217133,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"chelly","SubmittedDate":"03\/09\/2006 08:50"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
