Once bar is removed from the oven start making the Brown Butter Glaze

  2. Keep heating the butter until it starts to get foamy and slightly brown | do not over brown or it will burn

  3. turn the heat to low and add vanilla | be careful it will bubble a lot

  4. Add icing sugar | it will look very dry don't worry

  5. Add milk and whisk until smooth

  6. Immediately pour onto banana bar and spread evenly | must do this part quickly as the glaze will start to set

  7. Cut into bars (or eat it whole no ones judging)
