Sour Cream Banana Bars

I made these last night and they are almost gone. We did take a couple to the neighbor's house...but, it was mostly us. Well, me. If you like banana bread, you'll probably like these too.


Sour Cream Banana Bars:

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
2 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add sour cream and eggs and blend. Add vanilla to mashed bananas. Sift together dry ingredients and add to egg mixture, alternating with mashed bananas. Spread onto a greased jelly roll pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool, then frost.

Browned Butter Frosting:

1/2 cup butter, browned
2 cups powdered sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla

Brown butter in sauce pan until light golden color. Stir in remaining ingredients. Stir and heat. Spread onto banana bars.
