Ingredients

    Ingredients:
    Banana Bread Bars:
    1-1/2 c. sugar
    1 c. plain greek yogurt
    1/2 c. butter, softened
    2 eggs
    1-3/4 (3 or 4) ripe bananas, mashed
    2 tsp. vanilla extract
    2 c. all purpose flour
    1 tsp. baking soda
    3/4 tsp. salt
    1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)


    Brown Butter Frosting:
    1/2 c. butter
    4 c. powdered sugar
    1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
    3 tbsp. milk

Directions

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375F. Grease and flour 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. For the bars, 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.
2. Spread batter evenly into pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Meanwhile, for frosting, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Let the butter turn a delicate brown and remove from heat immediately.
4. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk together until smooth (it should be thicker than a glaze but thinner than frosting). 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).
