Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, bananas, 1/3 cup butter and the eggs until blended.

Cool completely, about 40 minutes.
- In 2-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden brown; remove from heat. Using spoon, gradually beat in powdered sugar. Stir in vanilla and the milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting is smooth and desired spreading consistency. Immediately spread over cooled bars. Score into 6 rows by 4 rows, making shallow cuts in frosting. Top center of each bar with cashew half, pressing in lightly. Cut bars on scored lines.

Steps:
- Slice the bananas and microwave on 60% power for about 7 minutes. Scrape from plate while still warm. In a processor, pulse the cashews until coarsely chopped. Add the oatmeal and pulse a couple more times. Add all of the other ingredients and blend to a paste. Roll into desired shape, and refrigerate.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor and better texture.
- If you don't have cashew butter, you can substitute another nut butter, such as almond butter or peanut butter.
- Add in other mix-ins, such as chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts, to your liking.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more honey or maple syrup.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a little more cashew butter or rolled oats.
- Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the nuts and oats.
- Press the mixture firmly into the pan to ensure the bars hold together well.
- Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
