Time to Make Some Banana Bread Bars!

To make these bars, first you will need to preheat the oven to 180˚C. Then prepare a large lamington tray by lining it with baking paper. 

In a large bowl, beat the butter, sugar, sour cream and eggs until light and creamy.

Blend in the mashed bananas and the vanilla extract.

Mix through the flour, bicarb soda, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Stir through the chopped walnuts, if using.

Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake until golden, about 25-30 minutes.

To make the icing, place the butter into a medium-sized saucepan and heat until melted and boiling. 

Boil until it turns a light brown colour, then remove from the heat.

Add the icing mixture, vanilla extract and milk and whisk together until smooth. It will be slightly thicker than a glaze, though still thinning than icing.

Spread this icing mixture over warm banana bread bars.

Place the slice in the fridge until it is cool, then slice into bars.
