Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed bananas
  • 1/2 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 cup active starter
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup softened butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 cups all purpose flour

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 3 tbsp softened butter
  • 8 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Mix mashed bananas, milk, starter, and lemon juice together in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and eggs until well combined.
  • Add the banana mixture and mix until all incorporated.
  • Add the baking powder, baking soda, and then slowly add the flour. Mix until just combined without over-mixing. For a long ferment, cover and put in fridge for 1-3 days.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour batter onto an oiled or parchment paper lined baking sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes clean.

To Make Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a mixer, whisk together butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and scrape down the bowl, if needed.
  • Beat until light and fluffy. Keep in the refrigerator to firm up. Spread over the banana bars.
  • The recipe can be doubled for a thicker frosting.
