YONR #17: Frosted Banana Bars

I have been dying to try this recipe ever since I saw it on Becoming Betty!
This was super easy and delicious (Have you noticed a trend in recipes I post?  I look for ease!!).
I made mine using 5 over ripe (previously frozen) bananas and I used half of the frosting.  The girls are taking this to Darla's for "breakfast" tomorrow, so I'm glad I halved the frosting because these are super sweet enough!

1 cube butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
3 ripe bananas
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt

Mix butter and sugar. Add eggs, mashed bananas and vanilla. Mix well. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Spread onto a greased jelly roll pan (15x10x1) and bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Cool before frosting.

Frosting:
1 cube butter, softened
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 cups powdered sugar (1 box)
1 tsp. vanilla
pinch of salt

Mix really well and add a little milk if it's too thick. (I used roughly 2-3 tbsp milk in mine) Spread onto cooled bars.
