Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup very ripe bananas (about 2 bananas), mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1½ tbsp milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar, sour cream, butter, and egg until smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the pan using the parchment paper.
  5. For icing: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it turns golden brown with small bits forming at the bottom. Pour into a bowl, whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Once bars are cooled (about 10-15 minutes), spread icing generously over the top.
