How to Make Banana Bread Brownies<\/p>\n
Step 1: Prepare the Pan
\nPreheat the oven to 375\u00b0F. Lightly coat a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Line with parchment paper, allowing extra to hang over the sides, then spray the parchment as well.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Make the Batter
\nIn a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, sour cream, and softened butter until creamy. Mix in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Bake and Cool
\nSpread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 20\u201330 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely before adding the frosting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
