Banana Bread Brownies: A Perfect Dessert Fusion

Banana Bread Brownies bring together the best of two beloved classics: the rich, moist flavor of banana bread and the chewy, fudgy texture of brownies. This delicious combination is ideal for any occasion, whether you’re hosting a gathering, looking for a comforting treat, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth.

Ingredients

For the Brownies:

• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 4 ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Frosting:

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
   • Cream together the sugar, sour cream, and butter in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add the eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
   • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually incorporate this mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
3. Bake the Brownies:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely.
4. Make the Frosting:
   • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Frost and Serve:
   • Spread the frosting over the cooled brownies. Slice into squares and serve.
