    Title: Nabisco Snack Well's Banana Snack Bars
    Categories: Bars, Cookies, Copycat
    Yield: 21 Bars

    2 Egg whites
    1 c Sugar; +5 tb
    2 tb Brown sugar
    2 tb Molasses
    1 1/2 c Banana puree *
    3 tb Shortening
    1/4 c Whole milk
    1/2 ts Vanilla butter nut extract
    1 1/2 c All-purpose flour
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Baking soda

    * Puree whole bananas (approximately 3) in a food processor or blender
    until smooth and creamy.

    Preheat oven to 350?F.

    In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until they
    become thick. Do not use a plastic bowl for this.

    Add the sugar to the egg whites and continue to beat until the mixture
    forms soft peaks.

    Add the brown sugar, molasses, banana puree, shortening, milk, and
    vanilla butter nut flavoring to the mixture, beating after each
    addition.

    In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.

    While beating the wet mixture, slowly add the bowl of dry ingredients.

    Lightly grease a 9x14" pan with a light coating of non-stick cooking
    spray. Be sure to coat the sides as well as the bottom of the pan.
    Dump about 3 tb sugar into the pan, then tilt and shake the pan so
    that a light layer of sugar coats the entire bottom of the pan, and
    about halfway up the sides. Pour out the excess sugar.

    Pour the batter into the pan, and spread it evenly around the inside
    of the pan. Sprinkle a light coating of sugar--about 2 tb--over the
    entire top surface of the batter. Gently shake the pan from
    side-to-side to evenly distribute the sugar over the batter. Bake for
    25 to 28 minutes or until the cake begins to pull away from the sides
    of the pan.

    Remove the cake from the oven and turn it out onto a cooling rack.
    When cake has cooled, place it onto a sheet of wax paper on a cutting
    board and slice across the cake 6 times, creating 7 even slices. Next
    cut the cake lengthwise twice, into thirds, creating a total of 21
    snack bars. When the bars have completely cooled, store them in a
    resealable plastic bag or an airtight container.

    3/4 c Milk
    2 tb Butter or shortening, melted

    True! I suppose you could substitute something. I've seen monkfruit
    "brown sugar" that's supposed to be a 1:1 substitute.

    I am not a diabetic but i do avoid sugar. My strategy is supply side,
    not demand side. I generally don't buy it, but if a family member
    offers me a treat, it goes down the hatch. :)

    There's that or even Splenda Baking is which is half-Splenda, half-sugar.

    Me too. But the thing is that I eat a carb-heavy diet and I need to fix that,

    Hi Sean,

    Hello, Ben!

    1 c Sugar; +5 tb
    2 tb Brown sugar
    2 tb Molasses

    Speaking as a diabetic, that is a lot of sugar...

    Sub out Stevia for Baking for the cup of white sugar. It measures the
    same as sugar but has a slight bitter taste if you use it for the full
    amount of sugar. Keeping the 5 tb plus the brown sugar and molasses will
    cancel out the bitter taste. We found the Stevia for Baking when I was
    first diagnosed as diabetic. Since then I've brought it so well under
    control that I'm now basically non diabetic but because I'm still
    considered diabetic, I do things like using the SfB to keep it well
    controlled. In June of 2012 I was told that my pancreas had died and I'd
    be on insulin the rest of my life; end of February, 2013 I took my last
    shot and have been diet controlled ever since. My last A1C was 6.4.
