Introduction

These are some bars that looked really good! I wanted to make some healthy subs to see if I could get the calorie count down. These are some bars that looked really good! I wanted to make some healthy subs to see if I could get the calorie count down.

Ingredients

    Ingredients:
    Banana Bread Bars:
    1 c. sugar
    1 c. plain yogurt
    1/2 c. butter, softened
    2 eggs
    1-3/4 (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed
    2 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 c. all purpose flour
    1 tsp. baking soda
    3/4 tsp. salt
    1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

    Brown Butter Frosting:
    1/2 c. butter
    4 c. powdered sugar
    1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    3 tbsp. unsweetened almond milk

Directions

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. For the bars, in a large bowl, beat together sugar, Plain yogurt, butter, and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts.

2. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

3. Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.

4. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).

    Very Good
    These were really moist and tasty although I want to work on the recipe to get the calorie count down. I sent these to work with my husband and they were gone within the hour. I would rate higher if the calories were lower but I don't want to compromise the taste. - 3/1/13
