Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed (or 3 for stronger banana flavor)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Optional Mix-Ins

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring well to combine. Then fold in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overmixing. Fold in any optional mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
  5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in your prepared baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  6. Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger banana flavor, use 3 ripe bananas instead of 2.
  • Optional mix-ins like walnuts, pecans, or chocolate chips add texture and flavor but can be omitted for a simpler blondie.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender and moist.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Reheat briefly in the microwave for a warm, gooey treat.
