These are a family favorite of ours. It is our good friend and pediatrician Dr. Don’s recipe. They are everything you love about banana bread with a perfectly creamy frosting. We brought these for snack at school last time it was our turn and the kids loved them!
For the bars:
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups mashed, ripe bananas
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch of salt
Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, bananas, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Continue to mix and slowly add flour. Pour batter in a greased 18x26x2 inch pan (if you can find it, otherwise a 1inch will work just fine).
Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Be sure not to over bake!
For the frosting:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 12 oz cream cheese
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
Beat butter, cream cheese and vanilla together. *make sure butter and cream cheese are at room temp! Continue mixing and add powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Spread over cooled bars.
Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by! A big thanks to Dr. Don for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, and for being the best pediatrician anyone could ask for!
