Ingredients:
**For the Brownies:**
– 2 eggs
– 3 bananas, mashed
– 1 ½ cups sugar
– 1 cup sour cream
– ½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
– 2 cups flour
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– ¾ teaspoon salt
– ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
– ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
**For the Frosting:**
– ½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
– 3 cups powdered sugar
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– ⅓ cup milk
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the cinnamon until well blended.
3. In a large bowl, beat together the sugar, softened butter, sour cream, and eggs until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mashed bananas, mixing until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three small batches, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts if using.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
6. While the brownies are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns golden brown in color.
7. Whisk in the powdered sugar one cup at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and milk, until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
8. Once the brownies have cooled slightly, pour the warm brown butter frosting over the top, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
9. Allow the frosted brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares to serve.
