I found these on the Life's Simple Measures blog and the cake is the BEST banana bread that I've ever had. The cake is extremely dense and moist.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

BANANA BREAD BARS
1 1/2 c sugar
1 c sour cream
2 eggs
1/2 c butter, softened
1 3/4 c mashed ripe bananas (3-4 bananas)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 c chopped walnuts (optional)
BROWN BUTTER FROSTING
1/2 c butter
4 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp milk

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. For the bars, in a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts.
  • 2. 2. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 3. 3. Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.
  • 4. 4. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).

I've never been a big fan of banana bread, but these bars were amazing. The texture was moist and the flavor was perfect.

These bars were a great way to use up my overripe bananas. They were moist and flavorful, and the frosting was the perfect finishing touch.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bars turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These bars were a little too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

These bars were easy to make and turned out great. I used chocolate chips instead of walnuts and they were a hit with my family.
