I went bananas for this one... no pun intended.

Ingredient list:

  • Almonds
  • Dates 
  • Unsweetened bananas


So simple, yet brilliant in flavor.  Most banana-flavored products are low quality in terms of taste.  You can really tell that the manufacturer either loaded it up with sugar or tried too hard for the banana flavor.  This bar is different.  I really have to say that it was great - the bananas are there but lightly, just enough to allow the dates and almonds to squeak through.

The texture was chewy, which was a good thing, but it could have been slightly more dense.  I like my banana break thick and hearty.  I also questioned the Almonds because normal banana bread is always made with walnuts.  Why not walnuts in this one?  Just a thought.

Altogether, this was a nice treat.  I enjoyed it and do recommend it for the banana fan.

*Rawr!* to you!
