Banana Bread Bars

2015-09-06T09:03:00.000-05:00

From The Girl Who Ate Everything

1-1/2 c. sugar

1 c. sour cream

1/2 c. butter, softened

2 eggs

1-3/4 c. (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 c. all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Brown Butter Frosting:

1/2 c. butter

4 c. powdered sugar

1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 Tbsp. milk

Directions:

Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. For the bars, in a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts.

Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile...

Frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.

Make sure to pay close attention. The 'turn' happens quickly and before you know it, you'll have extra burnt butter, which is not good...

Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).

Roll out on floured cloth with a rolling pin with bumps.. Ivy has Betsy's handmade one.
The "store bought" one I have has smaller bumps so it gets flatter and not as "bumpy" as Betsy's
Using a lefse stick to transfer and turn, bake on lefse griddle.. turn when top side gets raised air bubbles..

Betsy always stored it in a round metal decorative "tin". Serve with butter with a meal or "between meal 'lunch'"

Ivy always makes and brings this when they come for thanksgiving.. probably about the time I share the tradition!!! Mama Ruth
