Banana Toffee Bars W/ Browned Butter Icing image

These are rich and melt in your mouth - very much like a banana cake. Toffee and banana go so well together. I think these would also be good using almond extract. These are fabulous for a coffee break, dessert or a sinful breakfast. You can use any brand of toffee pieces such as Skor or Heath, just make sure they are not chocolate covered. ***NOTE: I wrote out the amounts for the sugar in the bars and the butter in the icing because Food.com wasn't recognizing "1/3". Hence, these amounts are not included in the nutritional value***

Time 1h

Yield 36 bars

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup butter, softened
one and one-third cups sugar
1 egg
1 cup mashed banana (about 3)
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup toffee pieces
1/2 cup slivered almonds, for topping (optional)
1/2 cup toffee pieces, for topping (optional)
one-third cup butter
2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 -4 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • For the Bars.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15x10x1-inch baking pan.
  • Beat the butter in an electric mixer on medium to high speed about 30 seconds. Beat in the sugar until fluffy - about 1 minute, scraping bowl as needed.
  • Beat in the egg, mashed bananas, sour cream and vanilla until very well combined.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add dry mixture to wet and mix together, scraping bowl as needed until well combined. Stir in 3/4 C toffee pieces.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 22-25 minutes (at 350) or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool 20-30 minutes before icing.
  • For the Icing.
  • In a small saucepan heat one-third cup butter over low heat until melted. Continue heating until the butter turns a light brown. This may take a few minutes. Remove from heat; pour into a medium bowl.
  • Add 2 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar, 1 t. vanilla and 1 T. milk. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined. Beat on medium to high speed, adding enough milk to make frosting of spreading consistency. I usually add 2 more tablespoons milk.
  • Use icing immediately.

I was a bit skeptical about the browned butter icing at first, but it turned out to be the perfect complement to the banana toffee bars. It's rich and flavorful, but not too sweet. I highly recommend using it, even if you're not a fan of browned butt
