BLONDIES
1 1/2 c sugar
1 c sour cream
1/2 c butter, softened
2 eggs
3 1/2 - 4 very ripe bananas, mashed
2 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
3/4 c chopped pecans
BROWN BUTTER VANILLA FROSTING
3/4 c butter
6 c powdered sugar
2 1/4 tsp vanilla
4 1/2 Tbsp milk, plus more if needed

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.
3. For the frosting: A few minutes before the blondies are done, start making the frosting. Place butter in a large saucepan. 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.
4. Pour and spread the warm frosting over the warm blondies. Allow to cool at least two hours before cutting and devouring.
