Ingredients

1 units ingredients
1 cups sugar
0.75 cups butter
0.5 cups brown sugar
0.5 cups sour cream
2 units eggs
2 units bananas
1 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoons baking powder
0.5 teaspoons baking soda
0.25 teaspoons salt
1 units frosting ingredients
0.25 cups butter
2 cups powdered sugar
3 ounces cream cheese
1 teaspoons vanilla
0.5 cups pecans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine sugar, 3/4 cup butter, brown sugar, sour cream and eggs in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add bananas and vanilla. Continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add all remaining bar ingredients. Beat until well mixed.
Spread batter into greased 15x10x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Melt 1/4 cup butter in 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly and watching closely, until butter just starts to turn golden (5 to 6 minutes). (Butter will get foamy and bubble.) Remove from heat. Cool completely.
Combine browned butter, powdered sugar, cream cheese and vanilla in small bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth (2 to 3 minutes). Frost cooled bars. Sprinkle with pecans.
