Banana Bread Brownies with Brown Butter Frosting

Ingredients:

For the Brownies:

  • 2 eggs ($0.25)
  • 3-4 ripe bananas (I used 4 medium) ($0.65)
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar ($0.35)
  • 1 cup sour cream ($0.50)
  • 1 stick of butter, melted ($1.00)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ($0.70)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour ($0.40)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda ($0.10)
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt ($?)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts ($0.78)

For the Brown Butter Frosting:

  • 1 stick of butter ($1.00)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar ($0.66)
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract ($0.53)
  • 3 tablespoons milk ($?)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking pan and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Brownie Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
    • Add the mashed bananas and vanilla extract to the mixture, blending well until combined.
    • Gradually add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
    • Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  3. Bake the Brownies:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the brownies are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan. The brownies should be warm but not hot when you frost them.
  4. Prepare the Brown Butter Frosting:
    • In a large saucepan, melt the stick of butter over medium heat. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a medium brown color and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
    • Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually whisk in the powdered sugar, adding it a little at a time. The mixture will be thick.
    • Add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency.
    • Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Frost the Brownies:
    • Pour the warm frosting over the slightly cooled banana bread brownies. Use a knife or spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the top.
    • Allow the frosted brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
