For an even richer flavor, try using browned butter in the banana bread batter as well! Simply brown the butter, let it cool slightly, and then incorporate it into the wet ingredients. If you don't have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute. To prevent the nuts from sinking to the bottom, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. Store the banana bread bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
