Ingredients
  

For the Brownie Batter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and balances the flavor of the overripe bananas.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Can be swapped with plain Greek yogurt if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness; may reduce additional salt if using salted butter.

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, about 2 cups.
  3. Add melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla to the mashed bananas. Mix until smooth.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold into the wet ingredients.
  5. Fold in any optional ingredients like walnuts or chocolate chips, if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  7. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
