Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, then 1 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add 1 egg and whisk until fully incorporated.
  4. Fold in 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for approx. 30 minutes.
  6. Allow the blondies to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter in a saucepan until golden brown. Whisk in 2 cups powdered sugar and enough milk for desired consistency.
  8. Once cooled, drizzle or spread the frosting over the blondies, cut into squares, and serve.
