Banana Bread Brownies

By boscobojo

Ingredients

• Brown Butter Frosting:
• 1 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 Tbl. milk

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour 15 X 10 jelly roll pan. For the bars, in a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts.

Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.

Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).
