Description

A soft and moist Banana Bread Brownie recipe with a rich, buttery frosting. A delicious dessert or snack that combines banana bread with the chewy texture of brownies.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Brownies:

  • 2 eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

For the Frosting:

  • ½ cup butter
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, mashed bananas, sugar, sour cream, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate 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 using.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the brownies cool completely before adding the frosting.

Step 5: Make the Frosting

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and spreadable.

Step 6: Frost & Serve

Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies. Let it set before slicing into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best flavor.
  • Let the frosting set before cutting.
