Banana Bread Brownies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Make the Banana Bread Brownies:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.
Stir in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and add milk as needed to reach your desired frosting consistency.
Frost the Brownies:

Once the banana bread brownies are completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
