These bars are very good, reminds me of Banana bread, but lighter. I got the recipe from Nestle's best loved cookies. My daughter made a batch yesterday and said should I freeze some? Won't be any left to freeze ~~ HaHa My own picture.

    Bake in preheated 350degree oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until wooden toothpick comes out clean. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into bars. (I cooked in a 13 x 9 inch pan) cook a little longer, maybe five minutes or so.
