Ingredients

For the Blondies

2 medium Ripe Bananas Aim for very ripe bananas with brown spots.
1/2 cup Melted Butter Adds richness and moisture.
1 cup Brown Sugar Light or dark for sweetness.
1 large Egg Acts as a binder.
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; almond extract can be used as an alternative.
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour Can be substituted with all-purpose flour.
1 teaspoon Baking Soda Leavening agent.
1/4 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness.
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips Optional for extra indulgence.

Equipment

8x8-inch Baking Pan

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 8x8 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and well combined.
Mix in the mashed ripe bananas, egg, and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture.
Sift in the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold until just combined.
Fold in chocolate chips gently, being careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, smoothing the top evenly.
Bake for 30-34 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack or slice in the pan and let cool completely.
