Banana bread – what’s that?! Our banana bread blondies have all the deliciousness of the classic loaf cake, but with gooey chocolate and a squidgy texture.
Step 1Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan) mark 4. Grease and line the bottom and sides of a 20cm baking tin. Melt the butter in a large saucepan along with both sugars until combined. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 2Stir the eggs, vanilla and bananas into the cooled butter mix. Mix in the flour and baking powder along with a pinch of salt. Stir through the chocolate chips.
Step 3Transfer to the tin and bake for 40-45min. Allow to cool to room temperature before slicing or, for a fudgier bake, chill in the fridge for a few hours before slicing to serve.
GH TIP
We’ve used a mix of chocolate here, but you could use dark chocolate instead if you prefer.
