Okay so I know we do not grow bananas in Iowa. Fruit is still a very important and vital part of our nutrition, however. Just because we cannot grow something here does not mean we can not eat it. I prefer to eat home grown or locally grown foods, but if we want bananas around here we just have to give in and buy them. With that said, here is another fun recipe to make with your kids for a little treat that is a much healthier alternative to store bought boxed items that may contain preservatives and other chemicals. Please enjoy! Oh and remember, let your kids help prepare your food... they are much more likely to eat it.
Ingredients:
Banana Bars
1/2 c. butter
2 lg. eggs
3 medium ripened bananas, mashed (mashing is the fun part!)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 c. sour cream
2 c. all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Icing: (if desired)
1 cup powder sugar
4 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Let's get the kids in the kitchen! Real simple here. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a large sheet pan or 9x13 cake pan if you would like them thicker. Mix all ingredients in order provided, pour into greased pan and let bake 20-30 minutes. While baking mix together the icing. Remove bars from oven and coat with icing.
