Instructions
Make the Banana Bars
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a 15-inch jelly rollpan with baking spray and set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth, 2 to 3minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each. Add yogurt and vanilla, stirring until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until blended.
- Fold in the mashed banana until just combined.
- Transfer to the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and butter until well combined and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using), blending until smooth. Add heavy cream and beat another 2 minutes until fluffy.
- Frost bars, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
- You can also cut the bars into 16 servings instead of 12.
