Some of my favorite recipes come from old church cookbooks.  I have quite the collection and use them almost daily.  I recently posted on Instagram how I had *way too many* bananas that were overripe.  People shared so many great ideas for what to do with them but I found a new recipe in one of those cookbooks that was a huge hit.  These banana bars are amazing!

While I know not everyone are big fans of bananas, most people I know love cream cheese frosting.  Am I right?

This recipe is the perfect combination of a dense cake with a sweet topping.  Mmmmmmm.. My whole family gave it two thumbs up and I know I’ll be using any overripe bananas in the future on this one.
