Steps:
- Cut the top and bottom of the bananas. Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and half it again across. Peel the bananas and set aside.
- Place some brown sugar on a plate and roll each piece of banana in the brown sugar.
- In a small dipping bowl, combine the flour and water to create a paste. (I find that using the paste will seal the wrapper better.) Or you could use water to seal the wrapper. Set aside the bowl.
- On a separate plate, have one corner of the springroll wrapper pointing to yourself. Place the sugared banana about two inches away from the bottom corner. Fold the bottom corner over the banana, roll it forward until it is about halfway. Snuggly fold both right and left corners to the middle. Continue to tightly roll the banana until there is a small amount left of the last corner. Dab the paste/water to the corner and seal it. Set aside the finished wrap and repeat the same procedure for the rest.
- Heat some oil in a pan or pot. Bring it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Carefully add in the lumpia and let it fry until it is golden brown, about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the banana lumpia and let it drain on a baking sheet topped with a wire rack. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- To achieve the best texture, use ripe bananas for your banana bars. Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the dish.
- Creaming together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender crumb.
- Gradually add the eggs one at a time, ensuring that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. This will prevent the batter from curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added. Overmixing can lead to a tough and dense texture.
- Bake the banana bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the bars.
- Let the banana bars cool completely before glazing or frosting them. This will help the glaze or frosting set properly.
Conclusion:
Hawaiian banana bars are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With their moist and tender crumb, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy topping, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone. Whether you choose to glaze them, frost them, or simply enjoy them plain, Hawaiian banana bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
