When you don't feel like making bread or cupcakes or muffins with those overly-ripe bananas, this is an easy bar recipe that mixes up quickly with ingredients that are usually on hand. The sour cream makes them moist and dense, and the cream cheese frosting is a perfect topper . Ingredients:
bars |
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup mashed bananas (2 large or 3 medium bananas) |
1/2 cup full-fat sour cream |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional |
cream cheese frosting |
6 ounces cream cheese |
4 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 tablespoons milk or cream |
2 cups powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. For the bars, cream together butter and both sugars.
2. Add eggs, mixing in well; stir in bananas.
3. Dissolve soda in sour cream.
4. Add flour, salt and cinnamon to batter alternately with sour cream mixture, until batter is well blended.
5. Pour batter into greased 10x15 baking sheet.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Cool completely before frosting.
8. For frosting, mix all ingredients together with electric mixer (using a mixer will tend to give you a fluffier frosting than mixing by hand).
9. Spread over cooled bars.
