Banana Bread Brownies

Instructions

1. Prepare the batter

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

  2. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy.

  3. Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.

  4. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend for 1 minute, then fold in chopped walnuts.

2. Bake the brownies

  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

  • Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

  • Allow brownies to cool slightly until warm (not hot) before adding frosting.

3. Prepare the frosting

  1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns a golden brown color. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

  2. Remove from heat, whisk in powdered sugar, and gradually add milk until smooth and spreadable.

  3. Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Frost and serve

  • Pour the frosting over the warm brownies and spread evenly with a spatula.

  • Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.


Recipe Notes

  • For extra crunch, toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.

  • If you prefer a lighter version, you can replace sour cream with Greek yogurt.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
