Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Stir in the mashed bananas and browned butter.

In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
-
Fold in the chopped pecans. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, melt the remaining unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the butter turns golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, browned butter, and milk until smooth and creamy.

Spread the browned butter-pecan frosting evenly over the cooled banana bars.
