Moist and Buttery Banana Bread Brownies

Soft, and moist, with a buttery glaze, these Banana Bread Brownies hit the spot when you want something sweet and easy to make. Give great use to those overripe bananas and bake some brownies. Your family will thank you!

Can I Use Other Nuts Instead Of Walnuts?

Yes, you can. You can use chopped pecans, cashews, almonds, or peanuts.

Do I Have To Brown The Butter?

Browning the butter gives it a nutty, deep flavor. You can use melted butter, but the flavor of the glaze will not be the same.

Brownie Banana Bread Tips:

1. If you’re using overripe mashed bananas, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the brownies.
2. Make sure the butter is soft so it’s easy to blend together with the sugar, sour cream, and eggs.
3. Be careful not to burn the butter. It’s better to cook it over medium-low heat until it turns brown.

Ingredients

For the brownies:

• 2 large eggs
• 3 medium-sized bananas, mashed
• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ cup walnuts, chopped

For the frosting:

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and preheat the oven to 375 F.
• Whisk together the sugar, butter, sour cream, and eggs until smooth and creamy.
• Fold in the mashed banana and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and chopped walnuts. Do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 25 mins or until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
