Instructions
Banana Bread Bars
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, grease and flour a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, sour cream, softened butter, and eggs until well incorporated.
Blend in the mashed bananas and vanilla for one minute. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend for one more minute.
Stir in any optional nuts. Then, pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly until warm and then frost.
Brown Butter Frosting
Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it is boiling and light brown in color.
Remove it from the heat and add it to the powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir the frosting until it is thicker than a glaze but thinner than a frosting. Add a splash of milk to thin the frosting until it's the correct consistency. Spread the frosting evenly over the warm banana bread bars.
Notes
Tips: Use a 9x13-inch baking dish for thicker bars and bake 10 mins longer than directed.
