2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3 large bananas)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour

Frosting:
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3 large bananas)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Frosting:
1/4 cup margarine
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 15 x 10-inch baking dish. Cream together the granulated sugar, sour cream, and margarine. Mix in the eggs one at a time on low speed. Beat in the bananas and vanilla, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Beat on medium speed for 1 minute. Stir in the nuts. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the center is done. Set aside to cool.
To prepare the frosting, lightly brown the margarine in a saucepan, stirring to prevent burning. When lightly browned, remove from the heat. Beat in the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and milk. Pour over the bars.
Yield: 24 bars
