Frosted Banana Bars

I always love finding recipes to use up over-ripe bananas.  This one is AMAZING!!!  Soft, fluffy, moist cake paired with sweet cream cheese frosting.  I am not going to lie, I had like 3 (or 4) pieces, but it was worth it!  Make these soon!

Basic Cream Cheese Frosting

Recipe by: Amber (Dessert Now, Dinner Later!)

• 1-8oz pkg cream cheese
• 5 Tbsp butter, softened
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1. Beat cream cheese with butter until light & fluffy.
2. Add powdered sugar all at once until just mixed.  Spread over cooled banana bars.  Keep the tip of your spatula down, don't lift up or you might pull up cake with it & leave crumbs in your icing.  Enjoy!
