Banana Nut Squares
I love banana desserts. I’ve made a Banana Birthday Cake, Banana Whisky Cupcakes, and banana nut muffins, but I think that these Banana Nut Squares are so good and tasty! It’s an easy banana sheet cake with cream cheese frosting, and it’s the perfect way to use up some of those brown bananas sitting on the counter. The whole family is going to love them and they are perfect for sharing at a neighborhood party. Make a batch today!
