Steps:
- For the brownies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish with aluminum foil so that 2 inches hang over each end.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt together in a small bowl. Bring the butter, brown sugar and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a saucepan, then turn off the heat. Whisk in the unsweetened chocolate, then let cool slightly. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture. Set aside while you make the banana bread.
- For the banana bread: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Beat the egg in a large bowl. Add the bananas to the egg and mix to combine well. Stir in the sour cream, melted butter and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Use a medium ice cream scoop to dollop about half of the banana bread batter in the prepared baking dish. Spoon or pour the brownie batter around the banana bread batter (it will cover it partially). Scoop the remaining banana bread batter over the top, making sure some brownie batter still shows through. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the baking dish on a rack, about 1 hour.
- Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang, but leave in the foil.
- For the topping: Combine the butter and chocolate in a small heatproof glass bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until melted. Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Whisk in the melted chocolate and the boiling water to make a smooth glaze, adding a little more water if it is too thick to drizzle. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the brownies with a spoon. Sprinkle the walnuts all over. Let the glaze set, about 30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

What to do with bananas....I usually eat one then the rest get overly ripe. Then they go in the freezer for banana bread....so I took my brownie recipe made some changes and here you go.

Steps:
- 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).
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your brownies will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from crumbling.
- Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Banana brownies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are moist, chocolatey, and have a wonderful banana flavor.
