Banana Bread Blondies

Banana Bread Blondies are delicious snack, lunchbox treat and the easiest and the tastiest dessert ever.

I thought combing two of my favorite treat, banana bread and blondies, would be great. And guess what! I was right, it turned out better than I expected!

Banana Bread Blondies have rich and sweet flavor of banana bread but with fudgy, moist, rich and dense texture. If you are looking for some cakiness of banana bread, you won’t find it here.

So technically, these yummy bars are more like traditional blondie base just with banana mix in. But I called them “bread’ anyway. It’s because of the flavor.

And since I called them ‘bread’ I don’t see why these blondies couldn’t be a breakfast, too?! They are perfectly suitable breakfast in my opinion.

I know that a lot of sugar is not quite healthy breakfast, but I can’t resist. So sue me! I like to eat them for breakfast! You can make them without the glaze if you’ll feel less guilty about it.

Actually these Banana Bread Blondies are great on their own, even without the brown butter frosting. They are already sweet and flavorful. They have amazing, rich flavor  combo of banana, brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla.

Sometime I like to make them without the topping, especially when I need quick and easy snack or dessert. But I like to add a glaze to make them look fancy for some special occasion or a party.

To tell the truth, I became a little obsessed with banana baked goods lately. So if you want more ides go and check!
