Best Banana Monkey Bars Recipes

CHUNKY MONKEY NUTTY BANANA BARS NOREEN'S

Steps:

• 1. Toasted pecans in oven on a baking sheet until toasted about 10 minutes. Heat oven 375 degrees. Line 10x15 jelly roll pan or 13x9 pan with parchment paper. or butter the pans. I use parchment paper.If you use 9x13 pan the bars will be thicker like cake.
• 2. Blend the sugar,sour cream,cream cheese,and eggs together until smooth.
• 3. blend in bananas,and vanilla until incorporated.
• 4. add flour,baking soda,salt with spoon. Mix well!!! add pecans and stir until blended.
• 5. put in to pan and bake for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees or until pick comes out clean.
• 6. Time to make your frosting. You can frost cake while warm. It actually works better. If frosting is thick add a bit more milk to it,
• 7. melt butter in sauce pan until golden brown.remove from heat. add confection sugar,vanilla and milk and stir until blended well. If frosting is thick add more milk until you get a smooth frosting.
• 8. now frost cake while it is warm.if you use the 9x13 pan for the cake use less of the frosting. cool and cut in to bars. I eat one while warm! LOL Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
