SOUR CREAM BANANA BARS

Sour Cream Banana Bars image

This recipe has been around FOREVER in my family. When I was growing up I don't think the pan ever had the chance to cool before they were all gone! They're sooo moist and wonderful! Note: you can make these in a 9x13 pan, they'll just be more like banana cake :) Make sure to check for "done-ness" in the center with a toothpick before removing from the oven. Top with Brown Butter Frosting Recipe

Frosted Banana Bars image

These banana bars are always a hit at potlucks in the small rural farming community where my husband and I live. I also like to provide them for coffee hour after church. They're so moist and delicious that wherever I take them, they don't last long. -Karen Dryak, Niobrara, Nebraska
