I really can’t help myself from eating bar after bar when I make a batch. I purposely make these when I am bringing a dessert for a big group. That way I can only steal one or two. My friends are always asking for the recipe so I thought I better get this recipe up to share. Maybe one of them will make a batch for me? Yes?

To Make this Recipe You’Il Need the following ingredients:
Ingredients:
Banana Bread Bars:
1-1/2 c. sugar
1 c. sour cream
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
1-3/4 (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed
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

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour
   15×10-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. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20
   to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
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
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)
