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 crumb.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense crumb.
  • Bake the banana bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bars are cooked through.
  • Let the banana bars cool completely before frosting them: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Enjoy the banana bars with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream: This will take your dessert to the next level!

Conclusion:

These gluten-free banana bars with cream cheese frosting are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch, adding a creamy and decadent layer to the bars.
