- Frosted Banana Bars
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla (or banana flavoring)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
FROSTING:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla (or 1 teaspoon banana flavoring)
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
Preheat your oven to 350°. Spray a 15” x 10” x 1” baking pan with nonstick spray.
In a large, mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar for approximately two minutes. Add the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla (or banana) flavoring. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; mix into the wet ingredients. Stir in the mashed bananas. Spread the batter into your prepared baking pan and bake for 18 to 22 minutes or just until the center is done.
Once your cake has cooled completely, make your frosting by creaming together the cream cheese and butter for two minutes. Add your choice of flavoring. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, beating until the frosting is of spreading consistency. Spread the frosting on your cake.

You two make me so happy the way you treat each other 😊😊
My thoughts exactly. Well said!
I just appreciate knowing theirs still a few good people out there.
There are lots of good people & I bet you're one of them!
There are lots of good people & I bet you're one of them!
I haven't been here since the beginning....but I got here as fast as I could. 😊
I love this recipe, I use chopped walnuts in the bars or on top of frosting. I don’ care for artificial banana flavoring so I would never use that. I also use riper bananas and that gives you more banana flavor. Judy
4:01 how you feel about artificial banana flavoring is how a feel about imitation vanilla.
Yes Only Pure Vanilla Extract should be used!!
We would use the ripe bananas also, looks good.
Oh my husband is going to be so happy! He loves banana bread. I only like bananas in a bowl of Rice Krispies. Now a happy husband and a great smelling house! Thank you! Many blessings to you both.
Tom and Melissa... I could not stand it until I had a chance to bake these bars!! I went down to my local Walmart and bought the pan even! Let me tell you, everyone... it doesn't need the banana flavoring because of course I forgot to buy it so just went with the vanilla. These are rich, moist, ever so delicious! Oh my gracious! I'm not saying don't use the banana flavoring because I do love it, but don't worry if you don't have it. This one's a keeper!!! Five ♥s!
I also went to Walmart today to get stuff to make this to.
I ordered the pan from Amazon haha... Wanted the exact size.. 😊
Great review, thank you! Now I've got to go to Walmart lol😅
I remember my mom making this several times a year. I got her the subscription to Taste of Home along with all the cookbooks. When she passed away her first born got everything so you can't imagine how thrilled I was to see this recipe. I learned how to cook and bake from her. I wish I still had all of her cookbooks and all the recipes she hand written out for me. I'm still bitter with her first born taking everything but thankfully he can't take all the wonderful memories I will cherish until my last breath
((((H💗GS))))
Thanks for not being so stressed out about the price of stuff
I loved my old handmixer. I got that green thing back in the 70s and we just had to replace it within the past couple years. You are right. They don't make them like they used to.
Yes, I still have and use my old GE hand mixer we bought in Japan in 1967, when I was a newlywed Air Force wife. Good job! Thanks for a delicious recipe!
Making it tomorrow to take to my mom in law in the retirement village. Thanks guys appreciate you so much.
The banana bars look delicious! Definitely will be trying these real soon!
Your hand mixer takes me back to my fresh year in college at Oklahoma State in 1969! I remember learning a new term I certainly didn’t know in high school. Planned obsolescence! And there you have it for the way things wear out today - though I’m sure manufacturers would disagree! I remember my mother’s refrigerator back then. It was an old Fridgedaire they had purchased probably in 1950! That thing was still going strong and I’m not sure she ever had to purchase another! Things definitely don’t last like they used to!
Thanks for another great video!
I remember learning that same phrase in economics in college 1970.
@@cynnail395 Sounds about right! Must have been a “thing” fr discussion in all colleges back then! I don’t remember our daughters ever mentioning it when the were in college!
Thank you ! I make an easy banana Bread: 1-box yellow cake mix, 2-eggs, 3-ripe bananas mashed up. *Chopped nuts optional. Mash bananas, mix eggs, *nuts, mix in cake mix - pour in a 9x13 pan or 2 loaf pans. Bake 350, 40 minutes depends on your oven. Enjoy.❤️
Thank you 😊
My son is now 33 but when he was 7 we got a cake for his first holy communion from TCBY frozen yogurt. It was owned my a very sweet Asian family. I asked them to put God Bless you Anthony. When we took it out of the freezer to serve it we opened the box and we all busted out laughing. It said, “God Bress you Anthony “. 😂🤣😂
Well y'all I did it...I made this cake this evening and it is delicious!!! I did use almond extract in both the cake and icing instead of banana b/c I didn't have any. I love y'all's recipes and I try them as soon as I can. I am so excited about cooking and look forward to each new recipe you post. I am 70 yrs old but feel 20 yrs younger with this new excitement you have generated in me and my life partner Ken is enjoying it too!😊😅 Thank you so very much! God bless y'all!!! 😋🤗🥰😘😇🙏🙏🙏🙏
I'll top my frosting with crushed walnuts....mmmm😊
I'm a banana farmer in the islands, and I will definitely try this.
Baking time for me was 30 minutes, but I only had a 9x13 inch baking pan not a 10x15.
Oh my goodness, this is so good. I think the sour cream adds the moistness and flavor pairs with the bananas. This recipe is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.
Melissa I am the one that loves licking the bowl, beaters and spoon too!!
That looks fantastic!
Meeeeee too ❣️
This looks really good and easy to make! I've been cooking for many, many years and my kids are grown and gone, but I'm always interested in recipes that are quick and that I know my family will enjoy when they come over. Also, I particularly enjoy your instructions given so clearly and how you're very organized with everything set out so orderly. You and your wife make a great team doing the videos!
I bake bananas in the peel at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool, peel & use! They will exude juices, so be sure to bake on a rimmed pan. And, Darren McGrady, “The Royal Chef” makes a similar cake that has caramel frosting that my family loves (& freezes well). Having said that, I’m always up for cream cheese frosting! Thanks for another super video!
My mom has always used sour cream in her banana bread. It makes it really moist and delicious. Thank you for that recipe Felisha. She was a little girl in my brothers kindergauurden class in 1966. This was the recipe she brought in for the class recipe book.😊
I love banana bread , I just made one a last week with pecans in it and ate the last piece this morning for breakfast with my coffee , it was so delicious I baked it in an 8x8 dish w/o frosting and cut it into 9 squares , so yummy ! Toms banana cake looked delicious ! Hope y’all are enjoying that Fl. Sunshine , it’s still cold and been raining a lot here in Ohio ! God bless ❤️🙏🙋🏻🌈🌈
G'day from Australia 🇦🇺
You could put banana and vanilla flours in the frosting.
It would be nice sprinkled with chopped walnuts too.
My dear that back of the spoon trick is one of the best that I've learned in years. I really appreciate that with the elevated spoon theory. I really enjoy watching your show.🎉❤🎉
I remember my Mom getting the Taste of Home magazine and the recipes always came out great. I thank you for sharing this recipe and I thank you for bringing back my memories of my Mom. I hope you are enjoying your holiday.
I’ve got tons of frozen bananas in freezer, tired of the same old loaf and muffins…going to try this. Love you videos, simple and concise..homemade,…..ty for all the recipes on RUclips. I use to watch The Kneady homesteader….she great but came back from life changing tragedy….would the binge watching…highly recommended
Looks delicious! Banana is one of my favorite flavors. Thanks for sharing!
These Banana Bars look so good!! I make Pumkin Bars with walnuts and a cream cheese frosting. I make my frosting with less sugar. They are so good. I’ll look for my recipe tomorrow and add it to the comments.
My husband and I have been married for 27 years, this last January. We have my mother’s KA stand mixer that she bought in 1982 and it is still going strong. We just replaced their Bunn coffee maker. It was 44 years old.
Lol you are really spoiling me over cleaning out your bowls and using your finger cleaning the blades of your mixer. I watch other people every once in awhile and they leave half of what ever they are mixing in the bowls, blades or etc. I love your explanations and all of what you do. Thank you so much for aaaallll you do.
Hello - Come Sit At My Table... just wanted to drop by and say thank you both for all you do.I am happily baking this cake (in the oven now) ,starting on the icing. ☺️ Will be a sweet addition to our salmon patty supper.. I so enjoy banana anything ,cake bars,pudding ..haha ..have a wonder-full day ..my kitchen is really smelling good about now👋🌻 The cake turned out perfect, waiting for it to cool for icing... I didn't have any banana extract on hand ,so what I did was cut off a 2 inch piece of another banana.. (ate the rest ) 😊 mashed it up and added it into the icing as I was stirring it up ..
Looks delicious, and different!!! I love taste of home magazine!!! I get the subscription, myself., ohio.
If my banana's aren't black, I put them in the oven at 350 for a few minutes. Once they turn black, let them sit for a few minutes to cool off then peel them and put them in your recipe. I've found this brings out the sugars in the banana and it tastes really good.
I'm an Egyptian from France.
to mash a banana just knead it in the peel then open the end (I do the bottom) and squeeze it out into the bowl. This looks like a great recipe. TFS
We will be married 58 years in August. High School sweethearts. ❤️❤️
Happy early anniversary to you both.
I’m heading to my kitchen to make this. It sounds so yummy and we love banana anything!!!
I always have sour cream. I do enjoy buttermilk but the way I bake I end up using sour cream to whip up something delicious instantly. Ima makin’ this now. 🎉
Great t-shirt!
You cannot go wrong with banana bread, cake, muffins, or bars with cream cheese frosting.
Love those kitchen cabinets. Looks like Craftmaid cabinets
Oh it is so good to be back on your channel. I have been in the hospital then a nursing home do to sever cellulite and infection. Am home now and can soon be able to cook and bake a bit. This is such a great looking desert, will make it as soon as I’m able to stand. Can’t wait to make it. Thanks for such great recipes.😍
Hello Tom & Melissa - This is way too funny. I had bananas that were really ripe. So I made some banana cake batter that I usually make into muffins. However there were lots of bananas so I put it in 2 Pyrex dishes that are probably 15 “ x 20 “ and I put chopped walnuts in one & made one plain banana. It is so funny I made a banana recipe the same time you did. What is even funnier yet it was a taste of home recipe that I have adapted a bit to work for me. What a funny coincidence. I came to watch you tube before going to sleep. I will be going back to kitchen to cover the second one in a few minutes. I believe I had 15 (smaller) bananas to use up. Glad I got these done. Cheers to having a banana recipe evening together, states apart… 👏👏👏💕🌻Hope you got to visit with your friends today & they arrived ok.
Made this and really good. Change up from banana bread. You have lucky friends when you cook and invite them. Enjoy your videos.
Amazing how men of your age have decided to dedicate precious time to do great things in the kitchen and teaching savory baking recipes. Spending time in a kitchen in America while having a day job… it is a luxury.
I think some chopped walnuts would be a great addition to the bars with a few sprinkled on top! Yum 😊
I did try out your frosted banana bars recipe, but I put a little twist on it. I used cake flour that I had left over, one cup of granulated sugar, and cooked it in a glass sheet pan 9"x13"X2". In the frosting I did use vanilla extract. While the cake was cooling I added some of the frosting to melt down into the cake. After it cools down completely I put the rest of the icing on it. It is so good and so delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us. God bless you and have a wonderful day.
This sounds AMAZING! Love your shirt, family of fishermen/women❤
Oh boy bananas anything 😊
If I love banana bread with walnuts, then I am sure I will love your recipe. I will make it torow and why not throw in toasted chopped walnuts on top of frosting 🤤😋
I freeze my bananas too. LOL...Good way to make them mushy.
Love the color of your kitchen aid. Beautiful. Y’all are such a lovely couple. One of my favorite cooking you tube channels. God bless you both. From McHenry, MS
I love to watch your videos. Melissa should come on more often. Lol You know, if she would get on your left side like she is at home, it might be easier for you to show everything. Lol I want a piece of that banana bar!
Yes Yummy For My Tummy! Click It! Yes Click It lol Omg
Mr.Tom & Mrs.Melissa Will give You the Most Yummy Videos.. Thanks For Sharing
My mouth is literally watering!
Good morning Tom & Melissa, trust you are still enjoying your holiday, looking good. Well ripen bananas are so good to use in baking. I have never made a sheet banana bake, only in a loaf tin. I usually add 1 cup of chopped walnuts/pecans to the mix, it is delicious, I noticed in a American Woman's Day there was a suggestion to add a teaspoon of mixed spice to the mixture. I suppose it is something different, I tried it, but I personally did not enjoy the flavour. You can frost the loaf bread but we slice and butter ours it is really such a delicious bake. Many blessings.
Delicious! It is a very good recipe. Not being one that will stress out my mixer, I added 1/8 cup of heavy cream to the frosting and it came out perfect! Very easy to mix then and great consistency for spreading. Thank You for sharing your recipe! 💕👍
OMG, this looks amazing. I love anything banana. This would be sooooo good. When I was growing up, I always had to lick the beaters and the bowl. I still do that today. LOL I do not know why, but it is always fun to lick those beaters and the bowl. My mother had a very old tiny pan, when she made a cake, not cake mix, she would take a little batter and make me and her a tiny sample. We would eat it HOT and boy, was it good. She always said, I have to see if it is good. My mother was an amazing cake/dessert maker, that is how I learned to bake. I used to help her always make a cake. This looks so good, I am going to have to make this. I love all your recipes. I found your channel right before Christmas, and I have alot of your recipes, I copy/paste them then print them off. I need to get me another notebook and page protectors and start me another cookbook, as if I did not have enough recipes. I love church cookbooks too. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great time in Florida. I was thinking, add banana flavoring to the icing. LOL
TOM & MELISSA THAT FROSTED BANANA BARS RECIPE IS DELICIOUS . I'VE HAD IT BEFORE & MY HUBBY & I BOTH LOVED IT . WE'LL BE MAKING THEM AGAIN SOON . GOD BLESS YOU BOTH VERY MUCH . (TAMMY FROM CALIFORNIA)
I have made this before and its delicious. But i have to thank you for recommending the banana flavoring in the frosting. I am a banana flavor fiend and i cant wait to try it.😊
This is one recipe that I will have to make ☺ I do love Banana bread, but this look's so delicious 😋 🍌 Happy Baking and thank you for sharing great idea's! 🥄
The man can cook!
Yes, I love sour cream on burritos, chili , potatoes…just about anything that you can add it to ..my hubby of 51 1/2 years only likes it in cherry cheese cake .
Funny but kinda sad story, a friend had her parent’s refrigerator that was 75 years old and it kept things really cold, it finally started to die a couple of years ago and they replaced it ….the new one doesn’t keep the food / drinks as cold as the old one.
Another friend had to replace her washer twice in four years and the repairman told her , appliances are only made to last 5 yrs at the most 😢
I have made this for years. It is even better after refrigerating over night.
Oh my gosh, I just finished a piece and it was decadent! I added chopped pecans both in the batter and on top. So yummy! I am so glad I found your cooking show and love watching the videos. Thanks so much Tom and Melissa!
I’ll have to make this banana cake for my son. It’s his favorite!!
I wish you had your recipes printable. Love your recipes 😋
My husband and I watch your videos just about every night before bed. We have gotten so many good recipes from you guys. Can’t wait to try this one. Keep the videos coming!
I would probably put a teaspoon of both banana and vanilla extract. I love vanilla & I make my own vanilla, so I know it's good. I'm a true believer in using real vanilla & not the imitation stuff. It totally changes the flavor of your dishes. I've had people tell me how they wish their chocolate chip cookies tasted as good as mine & I told them to stop using the imitation vanilla and use real vanilla. It may be more expensive, but it's totally worth it.
I remember snacking cakes from the 70’s..momma never baked except for the box but were delicious when ,you had no reference of the homemade products…ty
Hi Tom and Melissa! Love your t-shirt 🎣 Enjoyed the story about the birthday cake. That happened to me a few months ago, but it was the paper that was left on the burger 🙃 they didn't believe me until I showed them. 🙄 Oh I like the idea of banana flavoring to enhance it. Awesome idea for the flavoring in the frosting. That is just genius. Thanks Melissa for the recipe. Have an awesome day.
Yummy yummy I luv bananas but my partner can't eat them b/c of health reasons so I am going to just make it vanilla or almond extract sounds great. I will let y'all know how it turns out 😋😋 thanks for the awesome recipe. May you continue to enjoy your vacation God bless y'all 🤗🥰😘😇🙏🙏🙏🙏
I made these this evening after watching the video. They were a big hit! I literally finished spreading the frosting and my husband was waiting to sample them. He and my son both ate two pieces each!
I love banana cake yumy I'm so glad you show us this
I made these today plus your baked beans, Delicious! I have made so many of your recipes and just love you two!
Looks amazing! So glad to find a different banana dessert.
This Frosted Banana Bars recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.
Yummie, Yummie, Yummie! 👍🇦🇺
Thanks For All The Wonderful Recipes That You All Do..Love The Way You Explain The Directions..😊
These look scrumptious! I will make these because I love banana desserts. Thanks for sharing this recipie. You two do such a good job. & You make it seem so easy!
Make a pot of coffee with that cake , yum.
Glad you’re in warm weather. Here in Kentucky, we’ve been under total cloud cover for 215hours😢
I once left plastic on a piece of cheese in a lasagna. Fortunately, my friends thought it was hyterical! We picked it out and ate the fabulous lasanga anyway!
🙋🏻♀️from Tx. Can’t wait to try this, I just love anything bananas. Tks for sharing!!
oh my gravy! I so am making this. Strawberries or pineapple with a little chocolate drizzle on top and hubby will be so happy
This looks so good and I will be making it soon. Maybe will even try as muffins? And so funny you used your hand mixer. I bought a stand mixer many years ago just so I would have it for frosting. 😊
Love your shirt and the banana cake recipe. Will be making this recipe soon. The banana favoring is a great idea. You are correct that products are not made to made to last like they used to.
Love the recipe - *and* Tom’s T-shirt!
YES 👍 I WILL PREPARE THIS RECIPE FOR MY PRECIOUS GRANDCHILDREN AND EXCITEDLY WAIT FOR THEIR SMILE & YUMMM~O
RESPONSE 👏♥️♥️👏
THANK YOU FOR PRODUCING THIS EXCELLENT TUTORIAL AND SHARING THIS DELICIOUS RECIPE👍
Thanks for the great video. I’m planning on making it this weekend with my quilting. Friends come over. Looks super easy and fast. Funny story about the parchment paper. I once had guest stay overnight and decided to make two quiches for them the next morning. But Two frozen piecrust added my quiche. Mix to both cooked in the oven and served. One of my guess is kind of making funny faces and I asked her, don’t you like the quiche? She responded with the quiche is really tasty, but the paper doesn’t add any flavor. Come to find out I forgot to Remove the paper which separates the two pie crest before I baked it. L O L.
Awesome timing for me!! I have 5 over ripe bananas on my counter!
HELLO from Cape Coral, FL. I so look forward to seeing your videos. I've been out of work since Oct. after having a car accident. 😢❤ I can tell that you are a teacher. I taught elementary school until five years ago.
I love how organized and detailed you are while presenting your recipes.
I also love how sweet you two are with each other!! (do you have brother, LOL!)❤❤
Thank you for doing what you do!
One more thing.... I look forward to seeing WHAT T-SHIRT YOU WILL BE WEARING!!
That looks delicious. That is a must try for me. Thanks for sharing. 💜😇
So funny, I LOVE the corner piece of all cakes and brownies. To each their own!! 😋
I thawed out a turkey from the freezer I bought when they were on sale Thanksgiving. (I always buy a few extra and freeze) I cut it up like you showed, and oh my word, ty Ty ty for the tip. It’s so much easier, and it cooked so much better.
This cake looks delectable. We need a cookbook from y’all.
I’d love to buy a few extra turkeys at Christmas but they are $75 here, and not very big. It fed 5, and one meal of sandwiches for 3 and it was done! Most people feel lucky to afford just one.
I have made a similar recipe called Baked French Toast. I'm sure this was delicious. I did notice, however, that your cutting board was sliding around. To keep it from moving, you can dampen a dish cloth, or even a paper towel and place it on the counter under the board. It really works.
😊 yummy 😋 … I can’t wait to try this !!!
Thank you 🙏 for sharing !!!
I can’t wait to make this!! Like I’ve said before, every recipe that I have made of yours is absolutely delicious!!! Please keep being the recipes
This looks wonderful. Thank you both for the great wholesome cooking videos & recipes
Mmm... I ❤ some sour cream on mashed, or baked, potatoes! ...and burritos/tacos! Certain things simply are not, complete, without sour cream!
hehe, Melissa... "I'll just lick the bowl, you go ahead!"
This looks VERY tasty!
My hubby and I just made this bananna bars using bananna extract for both cake and icing. This is the best desert ever! We love it and we love ur videos keep them coming! 😋
Thank you just looked at bananas on counter and then I got your video. On my way to making this. Thanks again
