Banana Bread Brownies

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups sugar

1 cup sour cream

½ cup butter, softened

2 eggs

3-4 ripe bananas (depending on size)

2 teaspoons vanilla

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

½ cup chopped pecans (optional)

½ cup milk chocolate chips (optional)

Brown Butter Frosting

½ cup butter

4 cups powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

3-4 tablespoons milk

                                                                

Method:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a jelly roll (15x10) pan. In a large bowl (I use my Kitchen-Aid) beat together the sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until smooth and creamy. In a small bowl mash the bananas with a fork, add the vanilla and stir. Add the banana mixture to the sugar mixture. Mix well. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, stir until just combined. Fold in pecans and chocolate chips. Pour and evenly spread into the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Right after your remove the brownies from the oven make the frosting. In a large saucepan heat butter over medium heat until boiling, stir constantly until the butter just starts to brown. Immediately remove from heat, butter goes from browned to burned very quickly. Add powdered sugar, and vanilla, stir. Add in milk starting with 2 tablespoons and mix, add 1 tablespoon at a time after that until desired consistency is reached. You want it thicker than a glaze but thinner than normal frosting. Spread over the warm brownies. Enjoy!
