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 chopped nuts as a substitute)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Wet Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the melted salted butter and light brown sugar until smooth. Add the mashed ripe bananas, large egg, and vanilla essence to the bowl, mixing thoroughly until all wet ingredients are fully combined.
  2. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt directly over the wet mixture to ensure even distribution. If a sifter is unavailable, mix these dry ingredients separately before adding. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly while preserving the batter’s light and airy texture.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish and Add Batter: Grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra chocolate flavor.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 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 carefully removing and slicing them into bars. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your moist banana bread blondies!

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • You can substitute chocolate chips with chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for a different texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the blondies tender and moist.
  • Ensure the baking dish is properly greased to prevent sticking.
  • Store leftover blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
