Instructies

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Butter an 8-inch square baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving extra parchment hanging over two sides so the bars can be lifted out easily.

In a mixing bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, kosher salt, and rolled oats. Mix until combined.

Add the melted butter and egg. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.

Press about two-thirds of the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Reserve the remaining one-third for the topping.

In a separate mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and banana. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crumb base.

Place a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the chopped pecans and toast for about 5 minutes, stirring often.

Add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the sliced bananas, brown sugar, and vanilla extract.

Let the mixture cook for a few minutes until the brown sugar starts to melt and the bananas begin to caramelize.

Carefully turn the bananas as they cook, being gentle so they do not break apart too much. Cook for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Spoon the bananas foster mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.

Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top.

Bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool to room temperature.

Transfer to the refrigerator and chill until firm before slicing.

Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
