How to Make Banana Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas until mostly smooth. Add sugar, eggs, and oil; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in chopped walnuts (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before frosting (optional).
- Once cooled, cut into bars and serve.
