Banana Brownies with Browned Butter Icing

Image 8My dear mother-in-law recently e-mailed me this delish recipe. Ohhhhh, my- WOW. These brownies are so moist and the browned butter in the icing gives it a “Bananas Foster” taste. You simply must make this recipe…it’s a keeper.

Image 2Start off with your butter, sour cream, sugar and eggs. Beat well.

Image 4Mash 4 very ripe bananas.

Image 3Add them to the mix with vanilla.
Image 5Add your flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well. Bake in a greased 9×13 pan in a 375 oven for 25 mins or until lightly browned.

Image 6While brownies are baking, make your icing by browning your butter in a pan like so…make sure you use medium heat and let it simmer until it’s lightly browned.

Image 7Pour butter in with 4 cups of powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Mix well. Pour over top of warm brownies.
