Hollie CameronFull FlavoredSparks, NV (pop. 90,264)darholMember Since Nov 2011Hollie's Notes:
I found these on the Life's Simple Measures blog and the cake is the BEST banana bread that I've ever had. The cake is extremely dense and moist.
Directions
1. Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. For the bars, in a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts.2. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.3. Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.4. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).

I made this recipe today and followed it to the letter...the taste was AMAZING!! I don't know if I did something wrong though, because it came out more like Banana Bread than "bars". I thought it would be more dense so it would cut like bars. Anyone have any idea what I could've done wrong? I'd appreciate any input, as I'm a fairly new baker.

Glad I read some of the comments so I knew about the two eggs. Hollie, can you update the recipe? This was so amazing, I'd hate for anyone to not love it as much as my family did! I even burned the butter a little but it didn't matter. I recall several comments of folks who made it without the frosting, and while I understand wanting to save the calories, this one's worth it. Thank you so much for posting this!
