Ingredients

Scale

Main 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)
  • 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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line or grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prepare it for the batter.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then stir in the mashed bananas to combine well.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon (if using), and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  4. Mix Batter: Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir gently just until combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in any desired optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  5. Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing into squares. This helps them set and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • To reduce sugar content, replace part of the brown sugar with unsweetened applesauce.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for an extra layer of flavor and a textured crust.
  • For a dessert-style finish, drizzle cooled blondies with melted chocolate or a cream cheese glaze.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week to maintain freshness.
