I work at a women's shelter and made up a triple batch of these substituting whole wheat flour and a bit less sugar - they were gone in no time!

Very moist and the pecans give it a great flavor. My husband and I really enjoyed them.

The bars did not rise like normal banana bars, but they were still good. I used a different frosting though.
