Provided by á-30285

Number Of Ingredients 16

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
2 cups gluten free flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons soft butter
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 bananas mashed
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
8 ounces cream cheese
1 stick butter, room temp
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the butter at room temperature, oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. In a third bowl, mash the bananas and mix in the milk. Combine all of the ingredients in the large bowl and mix well. Pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13 pan and bake for 40 - 45 minutes. While cake is baking, make the cream cheese frosting. Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth. When the cake is cooled, frost and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bars will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and more tender bar.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Use gluten-free flour: There are many different brands of gluten-free flour available, so be sure to choose one that you like.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, or anything else you like to your banana bars.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Gluten-free banana bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
