Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Blondies

Recipe Description

I love blondies, don’t you? These Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Blondies are a moist and delicious take on banana bread. Blondies are known as brownies lighter cousins. Lighter in color only though – they still have the soft, chewy texture of a brownie but with less chocolate, they have a more subtle flavor like butterscotch, thanks to the use of brown sugar.

These blondies are super simple to make. Start by whisking flour, salt, and baking soda together. In a separate bowl, mix butter and brown sugar together until smooth. Add egg, mashed banana and vanilla and mix until smooth. Combine dry ingredients with the banana mixture and add chocolate chips and pecan nuts. Bake for 30-35 minutes and leave to cool completely before cutting. Enjoy!

To make Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Blondies, you will need the following ingredients:
