Banana Bread Brownies are a delightful fusion of two beloved baked goods: the classic banana bread and rich, fudgy brownies. This dessert combines the moist, tender texture of banana bread with the dense, chocolaty richness of brownies, resulting in a treat that's both comforting and indulgent.

In this recipe, ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture, while cocoa or chocolate chips bring in that irresistible brownie flavor. Often topped with a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze, Banana Bread Brownies offer a perfect balance of flavors—sweet, chocolatey, and with a hint of banana.

This dessert is a great way to use up overripe bananas and is sure to be a hit with anyone who loves both banana bread and brownies. Whether you're enjoying them as a snack, dessert, or even a breakfast treat, Banana Bread Brownies are a delicious twist on two classic favorites.

- Ingredients :

1-1/2 c. sugar

1 c. sour cream

1/2 c. butter, softened

2 eggs

1-3/4 (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed

2 tsp. vanilla extract

2 c. all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

3/4 tsp. salt

1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)

Brown Butter Frosting :

1/2 c. butter

4 c. powdered sugar

1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract

3 tbsp. milk

- Instructions :

Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15×10-inch 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 saucepan 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).

Enjoy!
