Gluten Free/Egg Free Banana Bars

The first time I made these bars it was a little while after my sisters and I had moved into our apartment together. I mixed them up and we laughed at the huge pan of bars that we ended up with. We ate some and I froze some and we had plenty of bars for a good, long time.

So, now I halved the batch for you. It still makes a 9x13 pan, but with how good these are, you will have them gone in no time! Feel free to double the batch to make the original amount if you want to feed a crowd - of if you're just in the mood for a ton of delicious banana bars. :)
