BANANA TOFFEE BARS W/ BROWNED BUTTER ICING



Banana Toffee Bars W/ Browned Butter Icing image

These are rich and melt in your mouth - very much like a banana cake. Toffee and banana go so well together. I think these would also be good using almond extract. These are fabulous for a coffee break, dessert or a sinful breakfast. You can use any brand of toffee pieces such as Skor or Heath, just make sure they are not chocolate covered. ***NOTE: I wrote out the amounts for the sugar in the bars and the butter in the icing because Food.com wasn't recognizing "1/3". Hence, these amounts are not included in the nutritional value***

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • For the Bars.

  • Add 2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1 t. vanilla and 1 T. milk. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Beat on medium to high speed, adding enough milk to make frosting of spreading consistency. I usually add 2 more tablespoons milk.
  • Use icing immediately.

Tips for Making Banana Toffee Bars with Browned Butter Icing

- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bars will be. - Brown the butter. Browning the butter adds a delicious nutty flavor to the icing. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your bars tough. - Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter, the bars need to bake longer. - Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly. - Use a serrated knife to cut the bars. This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
