Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan.
  2. Combine sugar, sour cream, melted butter, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Beat until creamy and well-combined (2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix in the mashed ripe bananas and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Sift in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Fold gently until just combined. Add chopped walnuts if desired.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  6. To make the brown butter frosting, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden brown and nutty (5-7 minutes).
  7. Whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  8. Pour the frosting over warm brownies and spread it evenly.
  9. Allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing into squares.
