How to Make Banana Butter Frosting

  1. Mash 2 ripe bananas in a medium bowl. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar to the butter, alternating with the mashed bananas, beginning and ending with the powdered sugar. Add a small amount at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Beat on medium-high speed until the frosting is light, fluffy, and completely smooth. Add a pinch of salt to taste.
  5. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
