Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 12 ounces sour cream (1 cup)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups banana, mashed (3 to 4 medium-size very ripe bananas)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 to 1 cup nuts, chopped
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 10.5x15.5-inch jelly roll pan.
-
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl beat the sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, about 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Step 3: Beat in the bananas and vanilla on low speed until blended, another minute or so. Beat in the flour, salt, and baking soda on medium speed for 1 minute more.
-
Step 4: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Step 5: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the bars are golden brown
-
Step 6: Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Once your banana bars have cooled you can sprinkle them with confectioners sugar or spread them with browned butter frosting.
-
Step 7: Cut into desired size bars - small, medium or super-sized - it's your choice. This recipe makes one 10.5 x 15.5-inch jelly roll pan of Sour Cream Banana Cookie Bars.
