Equipment

  • 9x13 inch pan

Ingredients
  

For the Banana Bread Bars

  • 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3-4 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

For the Glaze

  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 Tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and grease a 9×13 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter. Beat in the sour cream and eggs, bananas and vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and mix just until moistened. Stir in walnuts, if using.
  • Spread batter evenly into prepared pan and bake for 23-28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with few crumbs.
  • Make frosting while the bars bake.
  • For the Brown Butter Frosting: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Allow it to come to a simmer until it starts to turn a delicate brown and has a nutty aroma (watch carefully so you don't burn the butter!) Remove from heat immediately.
  • Whisk in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth. (Add a little more powdered sugar, or milk, if needed to thicken or thin the frosting). Pour the warm frosting over the warm bars. Spread gently with the back of a spoon.
