[recipe] Frosted Banana Bars

[Guest guest]

I have made this many different ways and

it always comes out wonderful whether I use light

cream cheese or regular, soy margarine or real butter,

OR yogurt instead of sour cream; you simply can't fail.

When this is shared with others I am asked for the recipe.

Washes down perfectly with a nice cup of coffee or tea.

 

Frosted Banana Bars

 

1/2 cup soy margarine

1 1/2 cups sugar

2 eggs

1 cup sour cream or yogurt

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

 

Frosting:

1 package (8oz) lite cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup soy margarine, softened

2 tsp vanilla extract

3 1/2 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar

 

In a mixing bowl, cream margarine and sugar.

Add eggs, sour cream (or yogurt) and vanilla.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt; gradually

add to the creamed mixture. Stir in bananas.

Spread into a greased 15x10x1 inch baking pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until

a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean.

Cool. For frosting, in a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese,

margarine and vanilla. Gradually beat in enough

confectioners' sugar to achieve desired consistency.

Frost bars. Store in refrigerator.

Yield: 3 to 4 dozen depending on how you cut them
