These bars are always a hit at potlucks here in the small rural farming community where my husband and I live. I also like to provide them for coffee hour after church. They're so moist and delicious that wherever I take them, they don't last long. Karen Dryak, Niobrara, Nebraska Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
2 cups sugar |
3 eggs |
1-1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
dash salt |
frosting: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
4 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, bananas and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into creamed mixture just until blended.
2. Transfer to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
