Banana Bread Blondies

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup banana, mashed
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2/3 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, mashed banana, and vanilla.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon and use a rubber spatula to fold together until combined. Last, add the chocolate chips and fold to evenly distribute.
4. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and use the spatula to spread it evenly to the edges. Bake until the edges are set, the bars are starting to turn a light golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 20 to 22 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
