Prepare yourself to go bananas over these delectable bars. Because of Covid-19 banana bread is one of the top baked goods in the USA right now. If you’re tired of banana bread mix things up and put those leftover bananas to good use with this delicious banana bar recipe. We got this recipe from one of our magnificent neighbors, Margret. Here is how to make the bars: mix together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 1/2 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 3/4 cup sour cream, 3-4 ripe bananas, mashed, 2 cups gluten free flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Pour the batter into a greased 11×17 inch pan, and bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees fahrenheit. While the bars are baking whip together the frosting. Use an electric hand mixer and mix together 1/3 cup softened butter, 3 tablespoons sour cream, 3 cups powdered sugar, and I teaspoon vanilla. Store the frosting in the fridge until the bars are cool. Once the bars have finished baking let them cool to room temperature. After the bars have finished cooling, frost them and set them in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them. There are a few key things to note: the recipe was not originally gluten free and to make it gluten free all we had to do was substitute the regular flour for gluten free flour. The next thing to note is that this frosting recipe makes quite a bit more frosting than is needed in my opinion, so I would suggest making a half batch to start. I’m telling you guys these bars are addicting, it can be hard to not eat half the pan as soon as they’re done. If you have any questions about the recipe please feel free to reach out. Stay well and eat well Everyone.
Until next time,
Brynn
