Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Brownies
    • 2 eggs
    • 3 bananas, mashed
    • 1 ½ cups sugar
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • ½ cup butter, softened
    • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • ¾ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

    For the Frosting

    • ½ cup butter
    • 3 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
    • 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13×9 inch baking pan thoroughly.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, sour cream, softened butter, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the Bananas and Vanilla: Fold in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
  • Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend for about a minute.
  • Add the Walnuts: Stir in the chopped walnuts (optional).
  • Bake: Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Prepare the Frosting: Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns medium brown.
  • Finish the Frosting: Remove from heat, whisk in powdered sugar, and gradually add milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla.
  • Frost and Cool: Pour frosting over the warm brownies, spread evenly, and let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • If you prefer a nut-free version, simply skip the walnuts.
  • Let the brownies cool completely to get clean cuts when slicing.
