🍌 Ingredients:

For the Brownies:

• 3 ripe bananas (mashed)

• 2 eggs

• 1 1/2 cups sugar

• 1 cup sour cream

• 1/2 cup butter (melted)

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 cup walnuts (chopped, optional)

For the Frosting:

• 1/2 cup butter

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 tbsp milk (more if needed for consistency)

🍌 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.

3. Add eggs, sugar, sour cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.

6. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.

Step 2: Bake the Brownies

1. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

2. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

3. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the frosting.

Step 3: Make the Frosting

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns a light golden brown. Be careful not to burn it!

2. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk. Stir until smooth and creamy.

3. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach a spreadable consistency.

Step 4: Frost and Serve

1. Pour the warm frosting over the cooled banana bread brownies and spread evenly with a spatula.

2. Let it set for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

3. Cut into squares and enjoy!

🍌 Tips for the Best Banana Bread Brownies:

• Use overripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.

• For a crunchier texture, toast the walnuts before adding them to the batter.

• Double the batch if serving for a crowd – these brownies disappear fast!
