Ingredients
- 1 & 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 & 1/2 cups light brown sugar packed
- 3/4 cup mashed banana
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 baking dish with parchment paper, set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt, set aside.
- Place the melted butter into a large bowl with the brown sugar, mashed banana, egg, and vanilla, whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour mixture and stir until combined with no dry patches.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Place the baking dish on a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the blondies are cooling, make the frosting by placing the cream cheese and butter into a large bowl and whip it until smooth with an electric hand mixer. You can also do this with a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
- Add the powdered sugar a little at a time until combined, scrape down the sides as needed. Add the vanilla, turn the mixer on to medium speed and whip for 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Lift the blondies out of the baking dish using the parchment paper to help. Frost them and cut into bars, serve immediately.
