Main Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.9 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 0.3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp beaten egg about 1 large egg
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas about 2 medium
- 1.3 cup all-purpose flour

- 0.25 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or semisweet chocolate chips optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment and lightly grease.
- Whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until glossy and smooth.
- Add beaten egg and vanilla. Whisk until fully combined.
- Stir in mashed bananas until the mixture looks cohesive.
- In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Fold dry ingredients into the banana mixture just until no dry spots remain.
- Gently fold in walnuts or chocolate chips, if using.
- Spread batter in the pan and smooth the top.
- Bake 22–27 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick shows moist crumbs.
- Cool completely in the pan. Lift out, slice into squares, and serve.
Notes
Try swirling 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into the batter before baking, or finish cooled bars with a light drizzle of melted dark chocolate. Store blondies airtight at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerate up to 5 days; freeze up to 2 months.
