Step-by-Step Instructions for Moist Banana Bread Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan by greasing it and dusting with flour.
- Cream together 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of sour cream, and ½ cup of softened butter using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in 2 large eggs and mix until well combined.
- Mash 2 medium ripe bananas in a separate bowl and mix into the creamy egg mixture along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Slowly add this to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold in ½ cup of chopped walnuts into the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the top turns golden brown. Check for doneness using a toothpick.
- Allow brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before frosting.
- For the frosting, melt ½ cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until golden brown. Remove from heat, then whisk together with 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth.
- Pour the frosting over the cooled brownies and spread it evenly. Allow the frosting to set before slicing.

Notes
Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture. Keep an eye on the butter while browning for the frosting to avoid burning.
