Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, mixing until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. While the bars are cooling, prepare the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  7. Once the bars have cooled completely, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Cut into bars and serve.
