45 minSour cream is the secret weapon in these banana bars. It keeps the crumb impossibly tender while adding just enough tang to balance all that ripe banana sweetness.
The batter comes together quickly in one bowl: creamed butter and sugar, eggs, sour cream, mashed bananas, and a scoop of flour. Spread it into a jelly roll pan and you’ve got a full sheet of golden, cakey bars ready to cut and share.
Chef Tips
- Use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor and moisture.
- Start checking at 20 minutes since ovens vary and these go from golden to overdone quickly.
- Top with cream cheese frosting or a simple powdered sugar glaze for a dressed-up version.
