I do a great job of buying fresh fruits and vegetables for my kids to eat, but sometimes they don't always eat them all. Most of my friends take over ripe bananas and make banana bread, but our family prefers these frosted banana bars. The disappear almost as quickly as I make them.
Frosted Banana Bars
½ cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 ½ cups ripe bananas, mashed about 2 large bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
Frosting:
½ cup butter, softened
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese softened
4 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, banana, and vanilla. Add flour and baking soda and mix well.
Pour into a greased jelly roll pan (15x10x1). Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool.
For frosting:
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and cream cheese. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla;
beat well. Spread frosting over cool
bars.
