Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas about 3 medium
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Frosting for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 10x15-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. If using, spread frosting over the top of the bars before cutting.
