These banana bars are sweet and moist. They are a favorite among my friends and family. I recommend eating them when they are still warm or letting them sit in the fridge to cool for a few hours. Enjoy! You can substitute butter in even amounts for the margarine.

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup milk
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ cup margarine, softened
1 ½ cups white sugar
2 eggs
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 bananas, mashed
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
⅓ cup margarine or butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine the milk and lemon juice in a small bowl; allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. This will effectively 'sour' the milk.
  • Stir the 1/2 cup margarine, the white sugar, eggs, salt, and flour together in a bowl. Add the soured milk and mashed bananas and mix thoroughly; spread into the bottom of the prepared dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the edges begin to brown very slightly, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before frosting.
  • Prepare the frosting by beating together the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and 1/3 cup margarine in a bowl using an electric mixer. Spread evenly over the cooled bars before cutting into 20 even-sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator.
