Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
• 2 eggs
• 4 ripe banana mashed
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ¾ tsp salt
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• Brown Butter Frosting
• ½ cup salted butter
• 3- 3 ½ cups powdered sugar more if needed
• 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 3 tbsp milk

Instructions

• Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. 

  In a large bowl, beat together sugar, sour cream, butter, and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and blend for 1 minute. Stir in walnuts.

  Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  

  Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a light golden brown and remove from heat immediately.
  

  Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). You can add more powdered sugar or milk if needed.

   Using a spatula, spread the brown butter frosting over the warm bars (the frosting will be easier to spread while the bars are still warm).
