How to Make Banana Caramel Bars
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Beat 1 large egg lightly and slowly stir into the flour mixture with a fork until just combined. The dough will be crumbly.
- Press half of the dough into the bottom of a greased 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork.
- Stir in 1 cup caramel topping (store-bought or homemade) and mix well.
- Pour the banana caramel mixture evenly over the crust.
- Crumble the remaining dough evenly over the filling and gently press down.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
