How To Make Banana Bread Brownies

Preparing the Brownies:

  4. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
  5. Stir in the chopped pecans and pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool.

Making the Frosting:

  1. Brown the butter by heating it in a heavy skillet over medium heat until it turns light brown and develops a nutty scent.
  2. Pour the melted butter into a bowl and gradually add powdered sugar, stirring to blend after each addition.
  3. Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add milk and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend until smooth.
  4. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies and cut into bars.
