Pour right into a half sheet size baking pan lined with parchment….don’t use wax paper like I did. Big mistake 🙂

Seriously the best. Swirls of buttery cinnamon sugar throughout the whole cake.

Prepare Your Cinnamon Roll Icing

Time for the cream cheese brown butter icing! Pour your hot browned butter over softened cream cheese and whisk like crazy. This will take a couple minutes to get smooth, don’t worry 🙂  Just keep whisking.

Add your powdered sugar in batches and whisk until thick, but not too thick.

The icing should still drizzle over your warm cake like so. Spread it evenly with an offset spatula and let cool.

    Made this for dessert for our Super Bowl dinner. It was amazing! I will definitely be making it again. 🙂

    Just baked and this smells fantastic! I have a gluten intolerance so I used gf flour and the consistency and bake time (35 minutes in my oven) turned out great! I am so excited to try tomorrow during the super bowl! Thank you for sharing! Go Hawks!!

    Hello! I had to comment on these because I just made these. I am now, obsessed. These have saved my sanity and I wanted to thank you for posting this recipe. You honestly do not know how much of a bad day today started and now how much of a good thing baking and smelling banana and cinnamon together have changed my outlook on the rest of this blessed day. Thank you.

    1. Jenny

      So glad I could brighten your day Jennifer. Thanks for sharing, put a smile on my face tonight 🙂

    This is hands down the best banana cake/bread/bar recipe I have ever tried. My grandson cannot have eggs so I am always trying to find delicious eggless recipes. I found that it is better the next day,firmer and bar like. I used 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder they came out higher than the ones shown. My family loves this recipe which makes me very happy!

  5. Dyana

    Oh my goodness!! I just made this and it tastes incredible! Thank you for sharing the recipe 🙂

  6. Sara C.

    Just made this… it is heavenly. And yes, the frosting did take a couple minutes to smooth out and it was worth it! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!!

    Wow this looks amazing! Do you have any suggestions for a good substitute if you happen to be allergic to bananas?

    1. KMC

      I’m allergic to bananas, but have no problem eating them if they’ve been cooked, like banana bread. Have you ever tried?

  8. Gloria

    This looks yummy & I have a pile of ripe bananas to do something with. Can you please tell me the measurements of your 1/2 sheet pan you use?

      1. Lori C

        I thought 24×12 was the full sheet size? So is this a full sheet recipe or a half sheet recipe?

  9. Ellen Marie Dumer

    Please fix your Pinterest link! Love so many of your recipes. This one is being prepared for day after wedding brunch!

  10. Heather Christo

    um, yes. you have my attention! I could cry that looks so good JennY! I can’t eat, but I can dream….

  11. Dani Johnson

    Once again, you amaze me. This looks SO good! I love to make banana bread so I usually have bananas in the freezer and I have a pretty good idea that this will make it onto our Memorial Day menu. Thanks for sharing!
