Our Most Popular New Recipe Last Week Is So Much Better Than Banana Bread

This is the dessert collab of the season.

We get it: the after-holiday baking rut is real, so we’re here to help you ease into the swing of spring baking with an effortlessly tasty treat. And, in this season of soaring egg prices, when we’re almost desperate for delicious egg-less desserts, we’ve got the one to try.

Our most popular recipe last week combines the best of a quick bread and a cookie to give you a cinnamony-sweet dessert unlike any you’ve had before. Plus, it’ll use up your overripe bananas in a baked good other than (and even tastier than) banana bread.

The Top Dessert Mash-Up of the Week

Introducing: Banana Snickerdoodle Bars. Recipe creator Kim calls her creation "a tasty cross between banana bread and snickerdoodle cookies," combining the best of a fluffy loaf and a chewy cookie. These simple, no-fuss bars are a marriage of two favorite flavors, with a texture that’s soft, thick, and irresistibly delicious.

If you’ve ever had a snickerdoodle, you know it's all about that crackly cinnamon-sugar coating, which is why these cake-like bars have a cinnamon-sugar crust baked right on top (and just wait for the aroma that will fill your kitchen!).

One Allrecipes member raves, “Absolutely delish!! Didn't change a thing.” User CALGLAD adds, “I didn't have any cream of tartar, so I made it without it. Was still great!”
