Banana Bars

I had an institute teacher who caters desserts and this is one of her favorites -- one of mine too!
It's super simple, cheap, and makes a ton. It's best to make when your bananas are black


1 1/2 C sugar
1 C sour cream
1/2 C margarine or butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 C mashed bananas (about 3 large)
2 t vanilla
2 C flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda

Heat oven to 375. Pam your jelly roll pan. Mix sugar, sour cream, butter or marg., and eggs in a bowl. Beat in bananas and vanilla. Beat in flour, salt, and baking soda. Spread in pan, bake until golden brown about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool and frost with Browned Butter Frosting.

Frosting:
Heat 1/4 C margarine or butter (I like butter better) over medium heat until delicate brown and remove from heat. Mix in 2 C powdered sugar. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 3 Tablespoons milk until smooth and of spreading consistency. You can use evaporated milk to make it creamier

Yummy!

Perfect timing! I have black bananas but my mom just made some banana bread for me so you must have been inspired. Thanks girl!
