BANANA BREAD BROWNIES

Ingredients:
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Ingredients for Brown Butter Frosting:
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 Tbsp milk
Instructions:
1. I start by heating my oven to 375°F. I grease and flour a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan.
2. For the brownies, in a large bowl, I beat together the sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. I blend in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
3. I then add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the bowl and blend everything for about 1 minute. I stir in the chopped walnuts last.
4. I spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake it for 20 to 25 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
5. Meanwhile, for the frosting, I heat 1/2 cup of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until it starts boiling. I let the butter turn a delicate brown and then remove it from the heat immediately.
6. I add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk to the browned butter. I whisk it all together until smooth; the consistency should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting.
7. Using a spatula, I spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars. It’s easier to spread the frosting while the bars are still warm.
