Banana Milo Bars

Recently I was flipping through one of my "Girlfriend" magazines from a few months ago and I discovered a amazing recipe! The basis of this recipe is from "Girlfriend Magazine" but I have changed a few ingredients and added my own touch.

INGREDIENTS

LOAF

- 125 grams unsalted butter, chopped and softened(I just put it in the microwave for about 20 seconds)

- 1 cup caster sugar

- 2 eggs

- 1 cup over-ripe mashed banana

- 1/2 cup buttermilk

- 1/3 cup milo

- 1 2/3 cups plain flour

- 2 tsps baking powder

- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

- Extra Milo to decorate

FROSTING

- 150 grams cream cheese, chopped

- 75 grams unsalted butter at room temperature

- 1 1/2 cups icing sugar

METHOD

1 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, then grease a brownie pan with butter.

2 Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully combined.

3 Add banana, buttermilk, Milo, and combined sifted flour, baking powder and bi-carbonate of soda. Stir to combine, pour into pre-greased brownie pan.

4 Cook in oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of cake comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan.

5 To make the frosting, beat the cream cheese and butter together in a small bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Slowly beat in sugar.

6 Spread frosting onto cakes. Decorate with the extra Milo on top of each loaf!

I really hope you enjoy these cakes as much as I did! They were so delicious and fun to make!
