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

Yes, this is an EXCELLENT recipe, and I've already added it to my computer recipe book. It is quick, easy and delicious. I made my cake, froze it, and when I was ready to use it, I thawed and then iced it. I shared it my my sewing group and they all loved it. A few pieces of walnuts sprinkled on each piece was a great addition for those who like nuts. kbbradford's review (below this one) has a great hint....add the 2 T. whipping cream to the frosting, because it does make a wonderfully smooth and creamy frosting and it is oh so easy to spread.
This is an excellent recipe that I will forever have on hand. Made this a second time an added fresh cooked apples, nuts and minced dried apricots. Also used a cream cheese icing tip that I ALWAYS use (added 2 T. Whipping cream) after cream cheese is beaten Tillis smooth. This makes the softest, spreadable frosting ever. I shared slices with friends and everyone raves on the moist and tasty cake.
I made these for a party and everyone asked for the recipe. I actually made them ahead of time, froze them and frosted them the day of the party. Very moist, the flavor and texture were excellent and they’re not too sweet.
Very good. I make it in a 9x13 and serve as a cake. It’s become a family favorite for birthdays!
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!
