CARROT BANANA NUT BARS W/HOME CANNED CARROTS.

Steps:

• 1. Grease & flour a 13x9 inch baking pan. Pre-heat the oven to 350 F. Assemble all your ingredients.
• 2. Mash your cooked carrots. Try not to use store bought carrots in a can. Frozen carrots are O.K. But cooked. You can even use baby food carrots... in a pinch. Add to bowl.
• 3. Mash 2 ripe or frozen bananas... if you have them... The taste is the same. Add to bowl.
• 4. Chop your nuts ... if you use them. I use walnuts. Add to bowl.
• 5. Now the easy part! A one bowl wonder!.. Put all! that's every ingredient together into a large bowl and mix well. Put in oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes. Check center of cake, to be sure it is done. Did you know you can use a stick of spaghetti for a tester?? Cake is done when nothing sticks to the spaghetti! Thank my Grandma Walker, for this trick. You can even use a wooden chop stick.
• 6. I like to use powdered sugar, sprinkled on top of cake. And a scoop of vanilla ice cream... goes good with this cake. YUM! *****Or a cream cheese frosting will do. This is your choice. Here is a nice "No GUILT CREAM CHEESE" recipe on JAP by:Noreen Dowell for you to try. If sweet Rose S. says it is good, then I will try it soon.
