Ingredients
  

Banana Blondies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled (2 sticks / 227 grams)
  • 3 bananas mashed
  • 1 cup brown sugar 200 g
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 240 g
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Peanut Butter Chocolate Frosting

  • 170 g chocolate chips 6 oz
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons icing sugar

Instructions
 

Banana Blondies

  • Prepare a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan by greasing it with oil or butter, then lining it with parchment paper.
  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the three bananas, then add the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Mix the batter just until combined, without overmixing.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the blondies comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 15–30 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Frosting

  • Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter to a bowl.
  • Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
  • Add the icing sugar and mix until it comes together.
  • Assembly
  • Transfer the cooled blondies back into the baking pan.
  • Pour the peanut butter chocolate frosting on top of the banana blondies.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread the frosting into an even layer on top of the blondies.
  • Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge to let the frosting set and firm up.
  • Once chilled, cut the blondies into 12–16 even squares to serve.
