Banana Blondies Recipe

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)

Preparing the Blondie Batter:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish (approximately 9×9 inches) with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and packed light brown sugar until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, whisking until the batter becomes smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as it may result in a dense texture.
Stir in the mashed bananas into the blondie batter until evenly distributed.

Ripe Bananas for Maximum Flavor:

The key to achieving the best banana flavor in your Banana Blondies is using ripe bananas. Look for bananas with a vibrant yellow peel, speckled with brown spots. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more pronounced the banana flavor will be in your blondies.

Baking Your Banana Blondies:

Pour the Banana Blondie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the blondies are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the blondies cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Elegant Presentation Tips:

While these Banana Blondies are delightful on their own, you can enhance their presentation with these simple tips:

Dust the cooled blondies with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
Add a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the blondies for a delightful contrast of textures and flavors.
Slice the blondies into bite-sized squares and arrange them on a decorative platter for an enticing dessert display.

Storing Your Banana Blondies:

If you manage to have leftovers, here’s how to store your Banana Blondies:

Place the cooled blondies in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.
For longer storage, refrigerate the blondies in an airtight container for up to a week.
For freezing, wrap the blondies tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in a freezer-safe container or ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
