Banana Bars – needlery!



	I just made these delicious bars last week because I had some over-ripe bananas that needed to either be thrown or baked into something. They are really delicious and quick to make. I didn’t even use an electric mixer; just used a spoon to stir! Banana Bars 1 cup sugar 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (I used three) One-third cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 1 cup flour – I used whole wheat 1 tsp. baking powder one-half tsp. baking soda one-half teaspoon ground cinnamon one-fourth teaspoon salt Heat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9" x 13" cake pan with spray or shortening. Mix together the sugar, bananas, oil, and eggs with a spoon. Mix dry ingredients together in a smaller bowl and then add to the moist ingredients. Stir until they are mixed together completely. Pour into the pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Frost with this delicious Cream Cheese Frosting 3 oz. cream cheese, softened 6 Tablespoons butter, softened 1 tsp. vanilla 1 and one-half cup powdered sugar Mix cream cheese, butter and vanilla with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Gradually bet in powdered sugar with spoon until smooth and spreadable. Enjoy!
