Two favorites in one moist cakey bar. They really don't need icing, though if you like to guild the lily, cinnamon, coffee, or vanilla cream cheese icing is a nice choice!

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups very ripe bananas, mashed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
