Author Notes: Whether it is rotten banana day or not, these are a quick, no fuss, simple family treat. My resourceful mother-in-law would whip these up in one bowl, all ingredients at once, and they were amazing. Frosting was optional. A dusting of powdered sugar will suffice. While she made them the traditional way, I adjusted the recipe to be GF. Thanks to Bakewell Cream, they were nearly as perfect as the original recipe, perhaps just missing a little height. Also, my baking instincts require a more traditional mixing method, but if you want to try the one bowl, every-one-in-the-pot method, be my guest. —janet voris
