How to make brown butter banana bread bars<\/h2>\n

Rather than just making brown butter frosting and calling it day, I decided to put brown butter both in the bars and in the frosting! So to make this recipe quick and simple, the butter is all browned at once.<\/p>\n

This is both the butter for the batter and for the frosting. Once the big batch of butter is nice and browned, it\u2019s divided in two.<\/p>\n

First, 1\/2 cup is poured out and reserved for the batter. The remaining brown butter goes into a mixing bowl. Then 2 tablespoons of extra butter are stirred in which helps the hot butter cool down faster.<\/p>\n

This is important because the butter must be solid before making the frosting. So while the bars are being prepared, the frosting butter chills in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

By the time the bars are baked and cooling, the frosting butter should be at the perfect consistency! It\u2019s mixed with powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk to make the most delicious brown butter frosting.<\/p>\n

The frosting is spread over the slightly warm bars which allows it to ever-so-slightly melt into these delicious banana bread bars.<\/p>\n

Banana bread bars baking tips<\/h2>\n

These bars are SO easy to make, but here are a few tips to ensure yours turn out just right:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bananas<\/strong> \u2013 Measure the bananas to exactly 1 1\/2 cups. Don\u2019t go just by the amount (about 4 bananas) as this is just a suggestion to help you gauge how many you will need. Bananas come in many different sizes, so 4 bananas to you might be too much or too little. Mashing and then measuring is the best way to ensure accuracy every time. <\/li>\n
  2. Brown Butter<\/strong> \u2013 All the flavor in brown butter is in the little brown bits that tend to sink to the bottom of the butter. So when pouring the butter into the batter, make sure to scrape in every last drop.<\/li>\n
  3. Flour<\/strong> \u2013 I always say to measure the flour if you can. If a scale isn\u2019t available, gently spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off for a light and fluffy cup of flour. Never scoop directly down into the flour as this packs it down into the cup, leaving you with way too much excess flour in the batter.<\/li>\n
  4. Mixing<\/strong> \u2013 When mixing in the flour, don\u2019t over work the batter. Mix just until it comes together, otherwise your bars will be tough rather than soft and tender.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Banana Bread Bars FAQs<\/h2>\n
    \n
    Can banana bread bars be made gluten free?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    I haven\u2019t tested it myself, but I do think these bars could work really well with gluten free flour! Sub in a cup for cup gluten free baking flour and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    Can these bars be made in a 9\u00d713 baking dish?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    Yes, although a jelly roll pan is much more traditional to this type of bar. But if you do bake in a 9\u00d713 dish, add on about 5 extra minutes and test in the center for doneness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    What do I do if I\u2019m short on bananas?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re just short of 1 1\/2 cups, you can supplement the rest with sweetened or unsweetened apple sauce.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    How do you store banana bread bars?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    Stored in an air tight container, these bars can keep at room temp for a couple days. But any longer than that and they will need to be placed in the refrigerator where they will keep for about a week. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

    Can I cut the recipe in half?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

    Yes, the recipe can be halved and baked in an 8\u00d78 pan. I suggest about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
