Frosted Banana Bars

Eli made this recipe a few weeks ago from his VBS cookbook. They turned out delicious, and he was very tickled at his success in the kitchen!

Frosted Banana Bars

1/2 C. butter, softened
2 C. sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 C. mashed bananas
1 tsp. vanilla
2 C. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Pinch of salt

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, bananas and vanilla. Combine the flour, soda and salt; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Pour into a greased jelly roll pan (or for a cake instead of bars, into a 9x13 pan). Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes (or slightly longer for a cake). Cool and frost. The original recipe called for Cream Cheese Frosting, but we made a white Decorating Frosting. Just about any frosting would probably be good on this recipe!

You got my mouth watering! I have a few bananas that need used up, and I think I'll make these. I remember making these years ago and I topped them with a cream cheese frosting. Delicious with a cup of coffee! :)
