Ingredients
  

Banana Bread Bars
  • 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter at room temperature
  • 1 Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar
  • 3 Medium Extra-Ripened Bananas about 1 1/2 cups
  • 3 Large Eggs
  • 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Cups All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour
  • 1 Tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 Tsp Salt
Frosting for Banana Bread Bars
  • 4-5 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 6 Tbsp Melted Salted Butter
  • 3 Tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 Cup Milk your choice of milk alternative

Instructions
 

Banana Bread Bars

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and grease it lightly.
  • In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on high speed for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the bananas (mashed or whole if very soft) and mix until combined.
  • Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract, beating for about 1 minute on medium-low speed. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined (about 30 seconds).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    Do not over bake. Allow the bars to cool for 45 minutes before adding the Icing.

Icing for Banana Bread Bars

  • In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, melted butter, and milk.
  • Mix well, then add vanilla extract. Adjust consistency by adding more powdered sugar if too runny or more milk if too thick.
  • Once the bars have fully cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Let the frosting set for about 1 hour before slicing.
  • Cut into 12 bars and enjoy!

Notes

Storing: Cover and store in the refrigerator.
