Sour Cream-Banana Bars



We recently had a Bake Sale at work as part of our United Way Campaign. I found this recipe in a Betty Crocker cookie recipe book and decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did, they were delish and our bake sale was a big success. We made $131.00 for United Way. Thanks to all who baked and all who ate.


1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup sour cream

1/2 cup butter, softened

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3 large)

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts



Heat oven to 375. Grease and flour jelly roll pan (151/2x101/2x1). Mix sugar, sour cream, butter and eggs in large bowl on low speed 1 minute. Beat in bananas and vanilla on low speed 30 seconds. Beat in flour, baking soda and salt on medium speed 1 minute. Stir in nuts . Spread batter in pan.
