# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, then lightly dust it with flour.
02 -
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.
05 -
Gently fold in the mashed bananas.
06 -
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
07 -
Let the brownies cool completely in the dish on a wire rack.
08 -
To make the frosting, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, allowing it to brown slightly. Remove from heat immediately to prevent burning.

In a large bowl, mix the browned butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.

Once the brownies are cooled, spread the frosting over them evenly. Cut into squares and serve.

Banana Bread Brownies combine the best of both worlds: the moist texture of banana bread with the richness of brownies, topped with a decadent brown butter frosting.
