1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

For the Brown Butter Frosting:

Instructions:
For the Banana Bread Brownies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch baking pan.
In a small bowl, mix mashed bananas with lemon juice and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar. Stir well.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the mashed bananas until evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the banana bread brownies to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
For the Brown Butter Frosting:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
Remove the browned butter from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of milk.
Add the browned butter to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Spread the brown butter frosting evenly over the cooled banana bread brownies.
