Roasted Banana Bars with Browned Butter Pecan Frosting

This recipe was a finalist in Cooking Light Magazine's "Twenty-five Favorite Dessert Recipes" several years ago. The notion of roasting a banana intrigued me so I was up to the challenge of trying it out. MY VERDICT: THEY ARE VERY TASTY AND I WILL MAKE THEM AGAIN. However, they are more cake-like than bar-like, and the extra steps, equipment and cleanup are excessive. Referenced below under "Useful Links" is a similar recipe I posted previously for my favorite banana cake - it's easier to make yet delivers in moistness and flavor. Start saving up those orphan ripe bananas and give one of these a try!
