Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, sour cream, softened butter, and eggs until creamy. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Mix in the chopped walnuts.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool for about 10 minutes before frosting.
- For the frosting, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until bubbly and browned. Transfer to a bowl and stir in half of the powdered sugar along with vanilla extract and milk until smooth. Gradually add more powdered sugar as needed for desired consistency.
- Spread the frosting over slightly cooled brownies, cut into squares, and serve.
