Banana Brownie Bars (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/2 cup of softened butter.
02 -
1 cup of sugar (granulated).
03 -
2 large eggs.
04 -
1 cup of sour cream.
05 -
1 teaspoon of vanilla.
06 -
2 cups of regular flour.
07 -
1 teaspoon of baking soda.
08 -
A quarter teaspoon of salt.
09 -
1 cup of mashed bananas (use 2 to 3 ripe ones).
10 -
1/2 cup of butter for the frosting.
11 -
4 cups of powdered sugar.
12 -
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla for the frosting.
13 -
3 tablespoons of milk.
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch dish and give it a quick coating of flour after.
02 -
Mix the sugar with butter in a big bowl until it’s nice and fluffy.
03 -
Crack in one egg, stir, then add the next. Pour in the sour cream and vanilla, then give it all a good mix.
04 -
Take another bowl and whisk together the flour, salt, and soda. Slowly mix these dry ingredients into the wet ones until just blended.
05 -
Stir the mashed bananas into the batter gently.
06 -
Pour the batter into the greased dish and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out clean when it's done.
07 -
Put the dish on a rack and leave it alone until completely cooled.
08 -
Melt butter in a pan over medium. Let it get a bit golden, then pull it off the heat so it doesn't overcook.
09 -
In a bowl, blend the golden butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until it's creamy.
10 -
Once cool, spread the frosting on top, cut into squares, and enjoy.
