Time to put all of those brown bananas to work! Banana bread is getting a makeover and once you try this recipe – you’ll never go back to an ordinary loaf of banana bread again. Thee mini-banana bread squares are flavorful, moist & extra indulging with the added cream cheese frosting. Feel free to add in or opt out of the nuts – with or without, they taste amazing! My biggest tip: keep these in the fridge…they are best chilled!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 &1/3 cups granulated sugar

  • 1 cup sour cream or greek yogurt

  • 1 &1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 2 eggs

  • optional nuts (walnuts or pecans)

  • Cream Cheese Frosting
  • 2 8 oz. packages of reduced fat cream cheese

  • 3/4 cup confectioners sugar

  • 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees & grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Prepare the frosting so it can chill. Add all ingredients together using a standing or hand mixer until consistency is smooth. Place in fridge.
  • In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together until smooth.
  • Add in eggs, banana, sour cream and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  • Add in flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until batter has reached smooth consistency with no banana chunks visable.
  • Pour batter into the baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and you can put a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.
  • Let bread cool completely before frosting.
  • After bread is cooled, frost the top of the loaf. Cut into 2 inch squares or whatever size you desire.
  • Garnish with chopped nuts.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge – I think they are best chilled!
