Banana Bread Blondies

If you love banana bread AND blondies as well, you must try these easy Banana Bread Blondies. This simple, one-bowl dessert recipe makes the best moist and fudgy banana blondies, with brown sugar and cinnamon. And, with sweet brown butter frosting, they are extra delicious!

Best Banana Bread Blondie Bars

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.

Banana Bread Blondies with Brown Butter Frosting

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!

These Browned Butter Banana Blondies with brown sugar frosting are OUT OF CONTROL delicious. Great for holiday entertaining, parties, potlucks or family meetings!

I have made this recipe EXACTLY as printed above & it is awesome !I DO have 2 questions though … 1) Can I whip this frosting ? to get enough to frost & fill an 8 or 9 inch cake?
2) Is there a way to make this Chocolate ? I’ve Googled,,, Brown Butter Chocolate Frosting But have found nothing.My Hubby Loves my chocolate cake & he swooned over this frosting So I was hoping to put them together for him . Hopefully, All answers will be deeply appreciated

Vera Zecevic April 29, 2017 - 3:38 pm

Thanks Theresa. I haven’t tried to whip this frosting so I can’t help you about that. And about the chocolate version you may try to substitute some of the powdered sugar with cocoa powder or sweetened cocoa powder, but I haven’t tried that either so I’m just guessing. If you try let me know how it goes.

Kara April 9, 2019 - 3:33 am

I doubled the batch, added chocolate chips at the end. For the icing, I just bought cream cheese frosting and mixed it with cocoa powder. Decadent and amazing!

Ronii May 10, 2017 - 11:25 pm

Is it okay to double the banana brownie recipe to make more? Or should I just make each back individually?

Hi Ronii,you can double it.

Catherine December 5, 2019 - 3:01 am

Just made these and they are ridiculously insanely good!!! I added an extra half a banana just because I was afraid they wouldn’t be banana-y enough for my taste. I thought the recipe made too much frosting once I was done whipping it up so I didn’t use about a quarter of it… but now that I’ve had a blondie I will definitely use the whole batch next time. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! So easy…will definitely make again!

Thank you for this recipe. I am not a banana lover. But… these blondes are Delicious! Caramely! I added mini chocolate chips and coconut. I baked it longer than 30 to render a denser texture-fabulous. Question: does
It freeze well? What made it rise?

Hi Kristin, bake at the same temperature, it should be done in 30 minutes.

These are the best banana ‘brownies’, and I have tried many recipes! The texture isn’t quite a brownie but definitely not a cookie, cake or bread! I followed the instructions, which is highly unusual, and they were moist, chewy, banana-y and perfectly sweet with the browned butter frosting. I will definitely be making these again and I won’t add a thing. I think it would detract from the total ‘brownie’ effect. Thanks four the perfect recipe. It’s just the one I have been looking for!
