Ingredients
  • 1½ cup all purpose flour (oat works great too!)

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • 2 eggs (large)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain nonfat)
  • 3 bananas (mashed)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp brown swerve
    • For The Frosting

Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spray an 11x7 glass baking dish with non-stick spray.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all of the dry ingredients.

  3. 3

    Add in the eggs, Greek yogurt, mashed banana, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully incorporated and there are no more lumps.

  4. 4

    Pour half the batter into your glass baking dish. Sprinkle the brown Swerve over the batter.

  5. 5

    Pour the remaining batter on top and make sure it is spread around evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake for 35 minutes, or until the tops are browned and a toothpick comes out clean.

  7. 7

    While the banana bars are baking, make your frosting by combining the cream cheese, almond milk, vanilla extract, and confectioners sugar substitute.

  8. 8

    Allow the banana bars to cool enough to where your frosting won't melt when you spread it on top. Evenly spread the frosting with a knife and cut into 15 slices.

    Serve & enjoy!
