Ingredients
Banana Bread Bars:1 ½ cups sugar1 cup Fat Free plain Greek Yogart½ cup butter, softened2 eggs1 ¾ cups (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed2 teaspoons vanilla2 cups flour1 teaspoon baking soda¾ teaspoon salt½ cup chopped walnuts (optional - Calorie count does include)Browned Butter Frosting:½ cup butter4 cups powdered sugar1 ½ teaspoons vanillaabout 3 tablespoons milk or half and half ( I used Fat Free Half and Half which is what is included in calorie count)
Instructions:
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour 10x15 jelly roll pan. Beat first four ingredients until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla for one minute. Add dry ingredients and blend for one minute. Stir in nuts and spread in pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Cool slighty until warm but not hot and frost with Browned Butter Frosting (recipe below).
For the Browned Butter Frosting:
Heat butter in saucepan over medium heat past the melting point until it is boiling and a delicate brown. Remove from the heat and immediately add the remaining ingredients. This should be thicker than a glaze and thinner than frosting. Using a spatula smooth over the top of the Monkey Squares immediately. The frosting will be easier to spread once it's on the warm bread.
