GLAZED BANANA NUT BARS
I love bar cookies and I love the annual Taste of Home cookbooks! Here's a variation of bar cookies which includes bananas and has walnuts not only in the bars but atop the glaze that frosts them...It's from the 1999 Annual Taste Of Home cookbook and was adapted to include the use of egg substitute instead of whole eggs and 1% milk instead of whole milk...Placed here for safekeeping!
