Banana Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting
I make this moist recipe for banana bars made with sour cream whenever I have ripe bananas on hand, then store them in the freezer to share later at a potluck. With creamy frosting and big banana flavor, this treat is a real crowd-pleaser. —Debbie Knight, Marion, Iowa

So good. I know I'm leaving this rating awfully late, but I made this up as a dessert for Christmas. And there was none left at the end of the day. So good!
Easy and delicious! Did not get 4 dozen from this recipe - maybe my family likes big servings!
I made this as written-came out perfectly! I made the bars for a church gathering, and they were a big hit. It definitely made enough to feed a crowd. The cake is moist and delicious, and the frosting scrumptious! I kept them well chilled and they were a yummy treat. VFE
Makes great banana muffins as well.
Delicious!!!!!
This was super easy to make and the results were a delicious and moist cake! I substituted Greek yogurt for sour cream because it was what I had on hand. I also frosted it with a maple brown butter frosting. Delicious!
This recipe is wonderful. Very moist, huge banana taste and the best cream cheese icing I’ve ever made. A keeper for sure. As mentioned they freeze well and take no time to thaw when you’re ready for dessert. I put the bars in the refrigerator after I ice them so they are easier to cut with icing on them.
Our favorite banana bar recipe! I make it anytime I need to bring dessert to an event.
This is a great recipe and everyone really enjoyed them. I did have to bake the bars an additional 15 minutes. The only change I made was reducing the vanilla extract,in the frosting, by 1/2 tsp and adding 1/2 tsp. of banana extract.
I have made this recipe several times and always get rave reviews from my friends. They are always delicious!
