These Banana Blondies with brown sugar frosting are out of this world delicious. They’re perfectly flavored with banana and literally melt in your mouth!
Ingredients
Blondies
- 1/2 cup butter, melted and if desired browned
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup mashed banana (1 medium banana)
Brown Sugar Frosting
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Blondies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper and coat with nonstick spray. Set aside
- In a large saucepan melt the butter (and if desired continue cooking the butter until it’s amber in color, stirring frequently *see note). Allow the butter to cool for 5 minutes and stir in the brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to combine. Stir in the egg until smooth and finally the flour and mashed banana. Spread in prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Transfer pan to wire rack to cool.
- Frost the blondies when they are mostly cooled.
Brown Sugar Frosting
- In a medium saucepan melt butter. Add brown sugar and milk and stir until mixture comes to just a boil. Remove from heat, allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Stir in powdered sugar with a whisk.
- Spread on top of blondies and allow frosting to set and blondies to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
If you choose to brown the butter, melt butter in saucepan and continue cooking, once it’s melted by swirling the butter in the pan until butter reaches a deep golden brown color.

Quite literally one of the most delicious things I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting in my mouth, and a fairly easy recipe, too! Hats off to you!
I doubled the recipe to bake in a jelly roll pan, fell a little short on the brown sugar. So…I added 1/4 cup REAL maple syrup, and ohmyLordIthinkIdiedandwenttoheaven….and I haven’t even put them in the oven yet, never mind the frosting….this will be a frequent repeat! Super simple, fast.
Great idea with the maple syrup!!
