Banana chocolate chunk blondies

Chewy, golden, brown-sugar blondies studded with chocolate and made with a ripe banana. A one-pan melt-and-stir bake that's ideal for small helpers.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line a 20cm square tin with baking paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pan, take off the heat and stir in the sugar. Let it cool for a few minutes, then beat in the egg, vanilla and mashed banana.
  3. Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt, then most of the chocolate.
  4. Spread into the tin, scatter over the rest of the chocolate and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until golden and just set in the middle.
  5. Cool in the tin before cutting into 12 squares; they firm up as they cool.
