Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 3-4 ripe bananas
  • 1 tsps vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Cream sugar and softened butter until fluffy. Add Greek yogurt, eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla; mix until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined—don’t overmix.
  • Pour batter into pan and smooth the top. Bake for 23–28 minutes, until golden on the edges and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and fragrant.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon milk. Add more milk as needed for a pourable but thick consistency.
  • While bars are still warm, pour frosting over the top. Spread evenly with a spatula—let it soak in slightly for a glossy finish.
