Don't you love it when you can make something with ingredients you already have in your kitchen? It's wonderful.
We buy banana's on a weekly basis, and I think I do it so I can let them get ripe and bake with them rather than eat them individually. I make a mean banana bread (click here for the recipe) but I decided to switch it up a bit and try something new and I'm glad I did!
Let's get our ingredients list going...
Blondie Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/4t salt
- 1 large egg
- 2t vanilla
- 2t cinnamon
- 1 cup flour
- 1 medium-large ripe banana
Frosting Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 6T dark brown sugar
- 2T milk
- dash of salt
- 1t vanilla
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Stir it up, baby!
- Preheat oven to 350. Line 8x8 baking pan with foil (make sure to let some hang off the sides so you can pull the blondies out easily when they'er done) and spray with cooking spray.
- Start with the Blondie Ingredients: mix together melted butter, sugar and salt. Add the egg, vanilla and cinnamon and mix well until combined. Add mashed banana. Add flour and mix until smooth. Pour batter into the pan, smoothen out the top and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Now using the Frosting Ingredients: melt the butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, be careful not to let it burn. Add brown sugar, milk and dash of salt and bring to a boil, continuing to stir constantly. Once boiling, remove from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar and spread over the blondies. Allow the frosting to set before slicing.
I love being able to whip something together without having to run to the grocery store to pick up 1 or 2 items. We are having company over to watch Game of Thrones tonight, so this will be a nice treat for everyone!
Until next time, my lovely foodies! Thanks for reading!
