Banana Bars

Beat together:

½ cup butter

1 ½ cups sugar

2 eggs

¾ cup sour cream

1 tsp vanilla

3 bananas, mashed

Add to above:

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

Bake on greased cookie sheet (with sides) 25 - 30 min at 350 degrees.

Frost when cool with:

3 oz cream cheese, softened

¼ cup butter, softened

1 tsp vanilla

Dash of salt

2 cups powdered sugar or till desired consistency

(To save money and calories when I make the frosting,I don't add the cream cheese.  I'll add about 1tablespoon of milk instead)

I attended a pot luck dessert Valentine's party on Saturday. Pilar Fonbuena brought these delicious banana bars. I asked Pilar for a copy of the recipe. She said she got the recipe from Alpine 11th Ward 2005 recipe book. Pilar's granddaughter compiled the cookbook for her laurel project.
