Ingredients
  

For the Blondies
  • 3 medium Overripe Bananas Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best flavor.
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter For a dairy-free alternative, use coconut oil.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Enhances sweetness and adds caramel-like flavor.
  • 1 large Egg For a vegan option, substitute with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds aromatic sweetness.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Can be swapped with gluten-free flour if needed.
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda Ensure it’s fresh for optimal results.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness.
  • ½ cup Chocolate Chips (Optional) Choose dark or semi-sweet for extra indulgence.
  • ½ cup Nuts (Optional) Can use walnuts, pecans, or swap for dried fruit like raisins or cranberries.

Equipment

  • 8-inch square baking pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
  2. Mash the overripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir in the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy.
  3. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture gently. If adding mix-ins, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Cool the blondies in the pan for 10 minutes, then lift out using parchment paper and cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into squares to serve.
