Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
Optional
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
- Combine Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar until well combined and smooth.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the large egg, then stir in the mashed ripe banana and vanilla extract, ensuring everything is fully incorporated.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the blondies.
- Spread Batter: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared 8×8-inch pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for uniform baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the blondies are set and golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 bars. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Use a very ripe banana for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the blondies tender.
- These blondies store well at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
