These are such a yummy treat! Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.

1 tablespoon vinegar

3-4 large/ripe bananas, mashed

1 teaspoon of vanilla

2 cups of flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

In a small bowl, combine milk and vinegar and set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and bananas and mix. Stir in the milk mixture then add remaining ingredients. Pour batter onto a cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

If you want to add frosting... then here's the butter cream frosting ingredients:
