Banana Blondies are sweet cookie bars that combine two favorite flavors—banana and chocolate! Throw in chopped walnuts for the perfect crunch, and you’ve got a treat that the whole family will love!
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup mashed banana about 2 medium bananas
- 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips divided
- ½ cup chopped walnuts divided and optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F, and prepare a 9 x 9-inch baking pan by spraying it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with a piece of parchment.
- In a large bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 45-60 seconds. Add the mashed banana, brown sugar, egg and vanilla extract. Stir together until everything is combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to the banana mixture, and stir until everything is combined.
- Fold in three quarters of the chocolate chips (and same amount of walnuts, if using). Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, and smooth it out to the edges. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and walnuts on top of the dough.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool completely before slicing.
