Description
These Easy Banana Blondies are soft, chewy, and full of real banana flavor. Made in one bowl with simple ingredients, they’re the perfect way to use ripe bananas when you want something quicker than banana bread.
Ingredients
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 ripe bananas, mashed (use 3 for stronger banana flavor)
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and sugars until smooth.
3. Add mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla; mix until combined.
4. Sprinkle flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon over the batter.
5. Fold gently until just combined.
6. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
7. Bake 22–26 minutes until edges are set and center is soft.
8. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for best flavor.
Do not overbake — blondies should be soft in the center.
Add chocolate chips or nuts for variation.
Store leftovers in an airtight container.
