My Mom's Banana Brunch Bars

My mom made these bars all the time.  They were one of her favorites.  They're one of mine too.  They are really a cross between a bar and a cake, making them really versatile.

I have no idea where my mom got this recipe, but guess that it was from either the newspaper or one of her sisters in South Dakota (funny, I do the same thing).  Hope you give these a try!

Betty's Banana Brunch Bars

Bar
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 very ripe banana (sliced)
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350.  Combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Beat 2 minutes at medium speed.  Spread batter in greased 9x13 inch pan.

Streusel Topping
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
Combine streusel topping ingredients until crumbly.  Sprinkle on top of batter.

Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.  Cool and cut into squares.
