Description
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.

I just made these this morning and they are so good! I’m not even that into banana, but they were delicious. And I’m not really a frosting person, but I could eat that frosting with a spoon it was so good. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I feel like a total tool when people ask me what I do. And then it’s all awkward because they’re like “that’s your JOB?? You actually make money from that?” Nervous laugh ensues and it gets awkward real quick. Aaaand this is why we drive old crap cars. True story.
Anyways. These blondies looks amazing.
That is all.
{talk about awkward…..cough cough….this comment…..cough cough…..}
Ha! I love it. So true. I tell people I’m a recipe developer and food photographer…which is technically true? Kind of?
I want to shove all these blondies in my face!
And I’ve yet to have cauliflower rice, kale smoothie, or zucchini noodles. So there.
These look and sound delish. Definitely going to make them soon!
Btw…I’ve had a lot of trouble loading your page lately. I haven’t had problems with any others. Wonder what is going on?
Haha! I always take a deep breath while writing “blogger” on everything…the last time I wrote it was on my medical chart, and the first thing I got was “you’re a blogger? So do you cater?” Um, not even close to the same thing.
I’m totally drooling over these. I want brown sugar frosting on everything! Mostly just my fingers…
These look ridiculously delicious!!!
