Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 medium very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 large egg

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or swap with chopped nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Wet Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla essence, stirring until fully incorporated.
  2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt over the wet mixture to ensure even distribution. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a wooden spoon, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, making sure they are evenly spread throughout without deflating the mixture.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish and Add Batter: Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top for added chocolate flavor.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-34 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before slicing into bars and serving.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • If you prefer a nutty texture, substitute chocolate chips with chopped nuts.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender and moist.
  • Allow blondies to cool slightly before cutting to ensure clean slices.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
