Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 blondies

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup mashed bananas
  2. ½ cup peanut butter
  3. ½ cup brown sugar
  4. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  5. 1 cup all-purpose flour
  6. ½ tsp baking powder
  7. ½ cup chocolate chips
  8. ½ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder to ensure no lumps remain.
  4. Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
  5. Gently fold in half of the chocolate chips and half of the chopped walnuts into the batter, distributing them evenly.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and walnuts on top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the blondies cool completely in the pan for about 30 minutes.
  9. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the blondies out of the pan and cut into 12 equal squares.
  10. Serve at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips

  1. Pro Tips for Perfect Chunky Monkey Banana Blondies:• Use very ripe, almost overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing • Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough blondies • For extra indulgence, slightly warm the blondies before serving • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or gluten-free flour blend • Let the blondies cool completely to allow them to set properly • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness • For an extra decadent touch, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel on top before serving
