Ingredients
Banana Blondie
- ½ cup butter {melted}
- 1 cup brown sugar {packed}
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup bananas {mashed} -about 1 large banana
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 2 ounces cream cheese {softened}
- 2 Tablespoons butter {softened}
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° and spray your 8x8 pan with non-stick spray, set aside.
- In a medium bowl combine the melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla and egg. Stir {by hand} until everything is nicely incorporated and you have a thick mixture.
- Add the cinnamon, salt, flour and mashed banana to the butter and brown sugar mixture. Mix {by hand} until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared 8x8 baking pan.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the edges of the blondies are slightly browned. The middle will be set but still look a little under cooked. Remove from the oven and let them cool.
- Once your banana blondies are cooled, combine the frosting ingredients and mix {I used a hand held mixer} until you have a smooth consistency. It will be thick for a few seconds but keep mixing and it will loosen up. Add frosting to the top of the banana blondies and spread out into an even layer.
- Cut your banana blondies into squares and serve. Keep covered at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate covered for up to 5 days.
