Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar light or dark
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer), combine the butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed until creamy and free of lumps.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix well. Gradually add to the butter mixture and beat on medium speed until just combined. Fold in the mashed banana and white chocolate chips (reserve 1/2 cup for topping).
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • For a darker blondie, replace light brown sugar with dark brown sugar.
  • Great options for mix-ins: milk, dark, white or semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, chopped chocolate, macadamia nuts, M&M's candies, chopped nuts, toffee bits or golden raisins. Or add a combination of any or all of the above, as long as you do not exceed 2 cups total.
  • Serving ideas: Serve warm, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Add sprinkles on top for fun. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and whipped cream before serving.
