Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9x13 pan with non-stick spray.
2. For the blondies: Beat together sugar, sour cream, butter and eggs until creamy. Blend in bananas and vanilla. Add flour and baking powder and mix until just combined. Stir in walnuts. Pour into prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted comes out clean.

Melt butter over medium heat and bring to a boil, whisking, until the butter turns a golden brown color. Remove from heat immediately. Whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. You can add additional milk if frosting is too thick.
