Method: Baking

Course: Blondies

Servings: 16 Blondies

Ingredients

½ cup butter melted
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup buttermilk
1 large banana half mashed and half cut up into pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup peanut butter chips
¼ cup unsweetened coconut
¼ cup walnuts chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large bowl combine the melted butter and sugars. Mix until combined.
Add buttermilk and vanilla, mix until fully incorporated.
Next add the mashed banana and banana chunks. Mix it in until well combined.
Now add the flour, baking soda and salt.
Stir just until combined without over mixing.
Mix in the coconut, ¼ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and walnuts. (See My Notes)
Lining the pan with aluminum foil makes it easier to lift it off the pan quickly and cutting easier.
Pour the batter into greased pan. Top it with the remaining ¼ cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Bake for 28-32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and cool it on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before cutting.
Cut into 9 large bars or 16 small squares. Store covered in fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

I forgot to add in the chocolate chips at first in the batter and that's why it's not shown in the picture. I realized it after I prepared the batter and so added it later.
This chunky monkey banana blondie recipe can be doubled to be baked in a 9x13 inch pan.
