Once upon a time I was a snickerdoodle aholic. In fact both Carrian and I loved snickerdoodles as kids. Oh, you weren’t expecting Cade here, but I’m doing this post as I loved these bars so much I told Carri that I would post them myself so that I could tell everyone how amazing they were. And trust me there is no better word to describe these snickerdoodle banana bars.
Carrian had me snag a few bunches of bananas so that she could freeze a few new bags of bananas for our morning protein shakes and green protein smoothies. However, the weekend got busy and the bananas were too close to the limes so within just a short amount of time we had some very overripe bananas and I had a wife that was pounding out banana recipes like you wouldn’t even believe.
Do you remember these double chocolate banana muffins she posted about? Gosh, those were awesome too. The girls headed to bed every night and I would immediately have a hankering for those dang muffins. I swear she put something in them that I couldn’t resist. ANYWAY! Back to these bars, they are ridiculous. The little cinnamon chips in there are awesome. They get all warm and melted and on top of it they are nestled in soft, moist banana cake. And then there’s this little like, cinnamony topping that is so good! Anyway, I don’t know how to tell all the little stories like Carrian does, but I do know that these are delicious and I hope you all will make them. Oh, and Carrian says to tell you all to toss the cinnamon chips in a little flour and shake off the excess so they don’t sink to the bottom of the bread.
