Ingredients
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 ½ cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl and mix in the ground cinnamon.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, sour cream, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the brownies are baking, prepare the frosting by melting the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
- Once the brownies are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Pour the warm frosting over the top and spread it evenly.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
