Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Banana Bread Brownies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup sour cream and 2 beaten eggs, and whisk until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, and 1 cup sugar. Mix in ½ cup chopped walnuts, if using.
  4. Gradually introduce the dry ingredients into the banana mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased dish and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool completely in the pan. Make the frosting by combining powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla extract, then spread it over the brownies.
