Ingredients

- One stick of unsalted butter (at room temperature)
- Three big, ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt
- 2 cups of chopped pecans
- ½ cup of butter without salt
- Three cups of powdered sugar
- 1 ½ tsp of pure vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons of whole milk
Preparation Instructions
Set the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Use nonstick baking spray to coat a 9 x 13 inch baking pan and line it with parchment paper.
Using an electric mixer, mix together the sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs in a big bowl until everything is well mixed.
Put the mashed bananas and vanilla extract in the bowl and mix them together.
In a different bowl, mix the salt, baking soda, and flour. Mix the wet ingredients together and then add them to the dry ingredients.
Add the chopped pecans and mix them in. Then pour the batter into the pan that has been prepared.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Take out of the oven and let cool.
To brown the butter, heat it in a heavy skillet over medium heat until it turns light brown and smells like nuts.
Put the melted butter in a bowl and slowly add the powdered sugar, stirring after each addition to mix.
Add the milk and vanilla extract after all the powdered sugar is mixed in. Blend until smooth with an electric mixer.
Spread the frosting evenly over the brownies that have cooled, and then cut them into bars.
