We love banana anything in our house and my kids especially do! We seem to always to have some bananas that need used and I like to make a combo but things but I most often make these!
When I first made these Banana Bars, the baking pan was empty in a matter of minutes ok maybe one day, I have since perfected this recipe over a couple of years and have these delicious Banana Bars to enjoy!
The combo of the dairy rich cake bars and the cream cheese icing are perfect and oh so delicious! The bars are made with sour cream and butter which make them light and airy.
