	Krumkake / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago When you don't feel like making bread or cupcakes or muffins with those overly-ripe bananas, this is an easy bar recipe that mixes up quickly with ingredients that are usually on hand.

Ingredients

Bars:

½ cup butter

1 cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

2 eggs

1 cup mashed bananas (2 large or 3 medium bananas)

½ cup full-fat sour cream

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon, optional

Cream Cheese Frosting:

6 ounces cream cheese

4 tablespoons butter, softened

2 tablespoons milk or cream

2 cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

For the bars, cream together butter and both sugars.

Add eggs, mixing in well; stir in bananas.

Dissolve soda in sour cream.

Add flour, salt and cinnamon to batter alternately with sour cream mixture, until batter is well blended.

Pour batter into greased 10x15 baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.

Cool completely before frosting.

For frosting, mix all ingredients together with electric mixer (using a mixer will tend to give you a fluffier frosting than mixing by hand).

Spread over cooled bars.

I consider cream cheese a food group of it's own merit and I always have a banana or two that can be used, this sounds wonderful. Thanks for the post, dear. Yummy.

Sounds great! I like the idea of an option for the over-the-hill nanners. I don't always feel like another loaf of banana bread. Thanks for the post!

My grandson, now 2, LOVES bananas! I'll have to make these for him...as well as those yummy frosted banana cookies I commented (twice...LOL!) about.
I'm not sure which I will make first, but will let you know how he liked them.
Thanks once again, Krum!
