Moist and dense, Banana Bread Blondies with Quick Caramel Frosting have the texture of brownies and taste like banana bread!

Moist and dense, Banana Bread Blondies with Quick Caramel Frosting have the texture of brownies and taste like banana bread! This dessert is rich, filling, and sweeter than traditional banana bread. It's a great recipe for brunch or snack with coffee. Another bonus, they are easy to prepare and cook faster than a loaf.

The blondie is soft and tender. You can easily add chocolate chips and/or chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter to add texture and flavor. I opted to keep it simple with just banana flavor and topped my blondies with an easy Caramel Frosting made from brown sugar. They are easy and irresistible!

If you like moist brownies, blondies, and breads the addition of bananas will give you that result every time. Here are a few recipes I’ve shared with you that have bananas in them.

Banana Bread Blondies with Quick Caramel Frosting

  1. Overripe bananas are best in this recipe. Allow the skin to become very speckled and almost black. The darker the skin the sweeter the banana will be. The bananas may not look perfect, but they’ll be perfect for this recipe.
  2. Another tip, before you peel your bananas for this recipe, give the bananas firm squeezes up and down the banana until the entire banana is mushy. When you peel it the entire banana will be ready for the batter.
  3. When I’m baking bars, brownies, or blondies for the blog or to take to a party. I always line the pan with parchment paper. Allow 3 to 4 inches to overhang to use as handles. Remove the blondies from the pan to cut and you’ll be able to cut cleaner more even slices.
  4. I baked these blondies in a 15x10x2 inch jelly roll pan. You can bake in a 9×13 inch pan but will need to increase the cook time to 27 to 30 minutes.
  5. I recommend storing in an airtight container. They will last longer if stored in the refrigerator, up to five days.
  6. You can add one cup of chocolate chips and/or 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the batter.

    My mother made a raw apple cake and she always made what she called Penuche frosting. This looks very similar, but I don’t bake enough to know the difference. Have you heard of it, and can you say what the difference is? Thx.

      I had never heard this term before but after a little research, this recipe and the ones for ‘Penuche’ that I found online are very similar. I couldn’t find much information but my guess is ‘Penuche’ is a regional term for a caramel icing made with brown sugar. Interestingly, there is Penuche fudge too, a caramel fudge. I must try this!

      Thank you for your comment. I enjoy learning new info about food and the history behind it.

    This may be the best cake recipe I have ever made! I can’t make it too often because It is very tempting to eat a whole pan by myself. Lol! Do you happen to have the nutritional info for this? Specifically: calories per piece? It is well worth budgeting for this incredible cake!
