2 cups Flour

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bars will be.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the banana bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
Let the banana bars cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
