Recipe-Banana Bars

This recipe is  my mother-in-law's.  These banana bars were a staple in my husband's home when he was growing up.  They are quick and easy.  There are always too ripe bananas around and these bars are yummy!

1/2 c. butter or margarine

1 1/2 c. sugar

2-3 ripe mashed bananas

2 eggs

3/4 c. sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 c. flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

 

 

Cream buter and sugar, add eggs and sour cream.

Add mashed bananas.

Add vanilla, flour, salt and baking soda.

 

Lightly grease a cookie sheet( with sides).

Pour batter into pan.

 

Bake at 350 degress

approximately 30 min.

ovens vary.  I start checking at 20 mins.

 

You may eat them plain or frost them,

Cut into bars when cooled.

 

 

 

I used agave and white granulated sugar

 

 

Add in the eggs and mix until creamy

 

 

 

Mash the ripe bananas in a separate bowl.

try not to leave big chunks.

 

 

Add in sour cream (I used light) and mashed bananas.

 

 

 

Next the dry ingredients.

 

But sure you are using baking SODA not baking powder.

The soda comes with the orange label.

 

Spread evenly onto a cookie sheet.  A 9 x 13 pan would be okay too.

You would need to bake a little longer.

 

 

Bake until golden brown.

 

Ready to eat!

 

Enjoy!
