These Banana Blondies are flourless, rich in flavour, super fudgy and healthier than the usual blondie recipe!
Your family will absolutely LOVE this banana blondies recipe. Made without flour and full of goodness, these blondies have the same consistency as our fudge chocolate brownies. Sticky centres with a fudgy texture like our fudgy flourless hazelnut brownies, and melted chocolate chips throughout, these healthy banana blondies are the perfect treat to satiate those sweet cravings.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BLONDIE AND A BROWNIE?
Essentially, blondies are ‘blonde’ versions of our world famous brownies, without melted chocolate or cocoa powder in the batter. Usually made with butter, flour, brown sugar, eggs or oil for a traditionally rich butterscotch flavour, blondies are just as fudgy as brownies.
Our chocolate chip banana blondies recipe offers a healthier alternative to traditional blondies, using predominantly banana and chickpeas as the base. Similar to our original chickpea blondies!
ARE BLONDIES SUPPOSED TO BE GOOEY?
A good blondie is gooey, chewy and a little fudgy. While it’s difficult to find a blondie as gooey as our Nutella stuffed salted caramel blondies, this chickpea banana blondies recipe definitely comes close.
This blondies recipe calls for peanut butter or a nut butter of your choice which helps to create that sticky centre and buttery flavour, along with honey for a touch of sweetness. Since we used peanut butter in our drool-worthy peanut butter and jam Nutella banana blondies, we haven’t looked back.
HOW TO MAKE BANANA BLONDIES
Incredibly easy to make, this banana blondies recipe is fool-proof and like our cookie butter gingerbread caramel chip blondies, it takes only minutes to whack together with a handful of pantry ingredients.
Just throw your ingredients into your processor, fold through some chocolate chips and pour the batter into a baking tray lined with baking paper. Top with more chocolate and bake in the oven. DONE!
HOW TO KNOW WHEN BANANA BLONDIES ARE COOKED
Always check the consistency using a clean toothpick. Poke the centre of the banana blondies with the toothpick. The toothpick should come out clean with only a few moist crumbs attached. If the batter is still wet, you will need to cook the blondies for longer.
For the best banana blondies, I recommend 15-20 minutes baking time. You can adjust this baking time based on your oven to achieve your desired texture and consistency.

Instructions
Preheat oven 200°C | 390°F. Spray a 8×8 inch square baking pan with cooking spray and put aside.
Throw ALL ingredients (except chocolate chips) into a food processor and blend until smooth. Fold half of the chocolate chips into the batter. Pour into prepared pan. Top with remaining chocolate chips.
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. They are VERY moist when taken out but they will firm as they cool. Be careful not to over cook or they will become dry.
Once cooled gently cut into 16 bars.
Notes
- Use a toothpick to check whether the blondies are ready.Â
- Use a nut butter for maximum moisture.Â
