Banana Bars

Gluten-Free Gourmet

Snack Time

Here is that moist, sweet, chewy snack for a day when you just need a yummy bite to eat. And, of course, it's still gluten and sugar free! These banana bars are a notch up from regular banana bread, with a delightfully smooth texture and sweet flavor. But the best part is that they're so easy to make. Here's how:

Cream together:

1/2 c. softened butter                                    1/2 c. raw honey

2 eggs                   1 c. sour cream                   1 t. vanilla extract

In a separate bowl, mix well:

2 c. sifted oat-rice flour                  1 t. baking soda           1/4 t. salt

Add the flour to the butter mixture, then stir in 2 mashed bananas (about 1 cup). Spread in a greased 9x13 pan (or a similar size - we used a foil pan for extra-easy cleanup!). Bake in a 350 oven for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.

Ready to Bake

Once the bars are cool, we spread a light frosting on top. It was simply delicious!

Beat well and smooth over bars:

1/4 c. softened cream cheese                         1/4 c. softened butter

2 t. vanilla extract                             1/4 - 1/2 c. raw honey

Once you taste these, you'll want to keep them around all the time to grab for a quick snack or even breakfast. These banana bars are a real treat!
