Recently made these. The recipe comes from "Confections from the Cody Kitchen" blog. The original recipe calls these Banana Bread Brownies, but I don't want anyone to assume there'll be chocolate involved and be disappointed. So mine are named Blondies. Be sure to use a high quality vanilla in the frosting - you will be so happy that you did!

    For the frosting: A few minutes before the blondies are done, start making the frosting. Place butter in a large saucepan. Melt butter over medium heat and bring to a boil, whisking, until the butter turns a golden brown color. Remove from heat immediately. Whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. You can add additional milk if frosting is too thick.
