I saw this recipe on a web message board yesterday, and made a GF version
today. YUM! These are the best "cake/cookie" item I've made for my son.
Black-Bottom Banana Bars
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
1 1/2 cups flour (I used Sylvan Border Farm general purpose flour--my
favorite)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon xantham gum
1/4 cup baking cocoa
(optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips added to the dark batter--I did this and
the result is delicious)
You could also add chopped pecans...will do this next time!
You could also dust with powdered sugar after they cool.
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and vanilla extract; beat
until thoroughly combined. Blend in the bananas.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to creamed
mixture and mix well. Divide batter in half. Add cocoa to half; spread into
a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Spoon remaining batter on top and swirl
with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes or until the bars test done.
Yields about 2 1/2 to 3 dozen bars. These bars are better the day after
baking (I cannot testify to this as I only made them today!).
