Banana Blondies: Easy, Delicious Treats for Your Sweet Tooth
These Banana Blondies are easy to make and satisfy your sweet tooth with their delicious flavor.
Equipment
- 8×8-inch baking pan
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas mashed (or 3 for stronger banana flavor)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips optional mix-ins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
- In a bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg and vanilla. Stir in mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine dry ingredients with the banana mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in any optional mix-ins.
- Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake for 25–30 minutes until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Let cool for 15–20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor. To reduce sugar, replace part of the brown sugar with applesauce. Add cinnamon sugar topping before baking for extra flavor and texture. Drizzle cooled blondies with melted chocolate or cream cheese glaze for a dessert-style finish. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
