Banana Blondies image

These are fudgy and rich! I've used peanut butter for ease but you can replace with cashew or almond butter as long as they're quite liquidy ones. I like to decorate them with a sliced banana on the top before baking but it's not necessary if you don't want to put them on there.

Time 40m

Yield 16 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp peanut butter or 1/4 cup other nut butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2/3 cup mashed banana
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 2/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped into large chunks
2 whole bananas

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350oF, line an 8-inch square brownie tin with baking paper.
  • Melt the butter and peanut butter together in a large pot over a low heat, stirring often. Once melted, take off the heat, and stir in the sugar, mashed banana and vanilla. Mix in the flour and pour into the prepared brownie tin.
  • Top with the chocolate chunks. Peel the whole bananas and cut in half lengthways. Place cut-side up on top of the batter as well.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until still soft in the centre but golden and browned around the edges. Remove from the oven, let cool for 10 minutes before slicing into 16 squares.
