Banana Bread
Banana Bread Blondies
Banana bread and blondies are two of my favorite treats, so I thought combining them would be delicious. As it turns out, it is! Now one of my favorite recipes!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 small ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup pecans
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Butter a 9 by 13 inch pan. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, stir together sugars and butter until combined. Mix in the bananas, vanilla, and eggs. Stir in the flour and salt. Fold in the pecans until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center of the blondies comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely in pan before cutting into bars.
- Blondies may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or frozen, individually wrapped in parchment and foil and placed in a zipper bag, for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature for about an hour or in the microwave 30 seconds.
