We go through a TON of bananas at my house. In fact, banana was my son’s first word after Momma and Dada. We ate so many, my husband had to buy a bunch just to let them go bad so we could make banana bread. Well, we had over 8 cups of mashed up banana after they had all turned brown. That’s a lot of banana bread. So, I decided to try an old college favorite. These things are seriously addicting, and surprisingly I enjoy these served cold, from the refrigerator. The recipe is pretty simple, just like making a cake.
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, beat until combine.
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the flour mixture to the creamed mixture.
Stir in the bananas (mushed).
Spread into a greased 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool.
I made a cream cheese frosting to go on top and these were delish! In fact, That whole pan didn’t even last three days.
