Butterscotch Banana Blondies

Teresa Ambra

I love butterscotch morsels and I have a ton of recipes that use them. Butterscotch Banana Blondies use both butterscotch morsels and ripe bananas. They are absolutely dreamy. I mean it. They have a rich Browned Butter Icing to die for. This cookie has everything going for it. Seriously.

I needed to stock my freezer with goodies in February. John likes to give them out to friends whenever he’s out. I had a ton of overripe bananas on hand. I decided to make up a batch of these blondies, plus a chocolate version. Both turned out incredibly good. We got tremendous feedback from those he gave these out to. They all loved ’em.

I can’t recommend Butterscotch Banana Blondies highly enough. They’re great for almost any occasion. Each batch makes 48 luscious blondies. So they’re terrific for tailgating parties, potlucks, family reunions or even during the fall for holiday parties when you need a lot.

If you want a “knock your socks off” dessert, Butterscotch Banana Blondies will do it. You’ll be drooling over every mouthful.

    I love this recipe and good way to use up bananas. It doesn’t have an overbearing taste of bananas. I added 2 teaspoons of baking powder. I didn’t see it in the recipe. Did I miss that in the recipe? I’m sharing it with a group of ladies.
    Happy baking.

      Hi, Kathy. This recipe does not use baking powder. I’ve made this recipe so many times I’ve lost count. Excellent with fruit or other kinds of chips too.

    Someone needs to proof read these recipes.

    1. Teresa Ambra

      January 31, 2023 at 12:55 pm

      Rossi Grace, I do try to proof the recipes, truly I do. But sometimes I miss something. I’ve corrected the recipe, but see my other response. You can add the icing either way – on cold or warm blondies just out of the oven. Thanks for letting me know the inconsistency.

  • Rossi Grace

    So this recipe at one point says to ice them hot and another time to cool completely before icing. Do any of you test these recipes? Or proof read them at least?

    1. Teresa Ambra

      January 31, 2023 at 12:53 pm

      Rossi Grace, Thanks for bringing this recipe to my attention. I have actually added the icing both ways–over cooled blondies or over hot bars right out of the oven. Actually the icing spreads better over hot blondies than over cooled ones, but it will work either way. I’ve corrected the recipe to reflect this.
