Recipe View Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting into 16 squares. (Cooling time: 60+ minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter in place of softened butter. Simply melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, cooking until it turns golden brown and smells nutty. Let it cool slightly before using.
If you don't have cream of tartar, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or white vinegar.
Feel free to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the dough for added texture and flavor.
These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    I added chocolate chips, and they were even better!

    These bars are amazing! My kids loved them, and they were so easy to make.

  • Lurline Ebert

    I found that 25 minutes was a little too long in my oven, so I recommend checking them at 22 minutes.

  • Taylor King

    The perfect recipe for using up ripe bananas. So much better than banana bread!
