Chocolate Chip Banana Blondies (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1 cups mashed ripe bananas
• 1/3 cups nut butter (peanut butter, almond butter, etc.)
• 1/3 cups coconut sugar
• 1/4 cups plant-based milk (almond milk, oat milk, etc.)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cups almond flour
• 1 cups oat flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2/3 cups vegan chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a square baking dish (7×7‑inch or 8×8‑inch) with parchment paper, or lightly grease the dish with oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a large bowl, combine mashed banana, nut butter, coconut sugar, plant‑based milk, and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth.
3. Add almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the flour is evenly incorporated, then stir in the chocolate chips.
4. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top, if desired.
5. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the pan. Gently lift the parchment paper to release the bars, then slice and enjoy!
