Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3-4 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together granulated sugar, sour cream, softened butter, and eggs until creamy. Mix in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  3. Sift in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold until combined. Incorporate chopped walnuts if desired.

  5. For the brown butter frosting: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat until browned slightly; transfer to a bowl. Mix in half of the powdered sugar along with vanilla extract and milk until smooth; gradually add remaining powdered sugar to reach desired consistency.
  6. Spread the frosting over warm brownies and serve.
