We got the bananas out. Today, I'm going
0:02
to show you how to make a chewy banana
0:07
It's going to have a texture and the
0:10
chewiness of a brownie, and that's what
0:13
kind of gives it that blondie name. Now,
0:18
we're going to have three medium ones
0:21
You want to make sure that the bananas
0:23
are nice and brown and have some good
0:25
spots on them because that's what's
0:27
going to add sweetness and flavor
0:31
to these blondies. All right, banana
0:33
bread is a classic, and we're going to
0:36
make fun of it today.
0:39
We're going to put a little fun into the
0:40
classic banana bread, and I've made
0:42
plenty of banana bread recipes for you
0:44
guys in all different ways, shapes, and
0:48
This is going to be in a brownie shape.
0:51
We're going to be using an 8 by 8 baking
0:53
dish for this recipe. The first thing
0:55
you're going to want is three medium
0:57
bananas, and we're going to break them
1:00
up into a large mixing bowl cuz
1:03
everything is going to happen in one
1:05
bowl. We're going to make it easy for
1:09
And that's what this recipe is all
1:13
Get them peeled, you guys.
1:16
If you don't have brown bananas, leave
1:18
them on your countertop. Let them get
1:23
All right, I'm just going to break them
1:24
up, get them a good start here.
1:27
Here's a tip, another trick for you
1:30
If you peel from the bottom of the
1:32
banana, it takes all of the little
1:38
See that? Look at that.
1:41
And if you have one, just peel it off.
1:44
That is what adds sweetness
1:51
Grab you a fork or a masher, which I
1:55
have right here. It's a potato masher,
1:57
and I'm going to go in, mash this till
2:00
it's nice and smooth.
2:04
If you got some extra hands, bring them
2:06
into the kitchen and have them mash your
2:08
bananas while you get everything else
2:10
I got my butter shirt on today
2:13
cuz there's going to be some butter
2:14
happening in this recipe.
2:17
You got to get in the mood.
2:21
All right, we got them all mashed up.
2:24
It'll give it a nice, moist texture,
2:27
which is what we're looking for in these
2:29
blondies. We're going to bring over
2:31
these ingredients right here.
2:34
We got 1 cup of brown sugar that we're
2:36
going to add to the bowl. Now, as you
2:38
can see, it is packed brown sugar.
2:44
We're going to add in a 1 tsp vanilla
2:48
extract, and we're going to add in one
2:52
I just brought it to room temperature a
2:54
little bit. As well as getting
2:54
everything ready, I just pulled out the
2:58
And then, we're going to add in 1/2 cup
3:01
or one stick of melted butter. You want
3:05
to slightly cool it a little bit so you
3:06
don't scramble your egg. We're going to
3:13
Now, what we're going to do
3:15
is just combine this together.
3:17
I'm just going to use my masher here
3:21
We just want to make sure all the wet
3:22
ingredients and the sugar are blended
3:27
We're done with that. To save yourself a
3:29
bowl for this next step, you're going to
3:32
need a sifter here. I'm just going to
3:35
lay it over the bowl.
3:36
And then, we're going to add to it 1 cup
3:38
of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking
3:42
soda, and 1/4 tsp of salt. That is all
3:46
the dry ingredients you need for this
3:47
recipe. We're going to sift it into the
3:59
Then all I'm going to do is just
4:09
I'm going to get all the clumps out.
4:11
Now what you going to do? Grab a little
4:13
sunshine, your spatula,
4:16
fold the flour into the banana mixture
4:19
just until combined. You don't want to
4:24
If you really over mix this, it's going
4:26
to make for a tough blondie and you
4:32
I love that banana flavor going on in
4:35
All right, we got it all mixed. I am not
4:38
right and I'm not getting the electric
4:40
hand mixer and beating it all in, okay?
4:43
We got it all combined.
4:45
That's it. This is a really easy batter.
4:50
Now let's talk about the fold ins. This
4:53
is what I have right here.
4:55
So I have half a cup of walnuts. These
4:59
are halved and in pieces also, that's
5:02
how they came. And then I got half a cup
5:04
of chocolate chips. Now I had the minis
5:08
in the pantry, so that's what we're
5:10
using. So I don't have to buy a whole
5:13
morsels for this. All right, so we're
5:14
going to add that and you can add
5:16
pecans, whatever you like in your banana
5:18
bread. So let's add these in.
5:20
And like we're just going to fold them
5:29
And again, don't over mix, just enough
5:32
to get them all combined.
5:37
Ooh, you guys, that smells good. Can you
5:39
imagine when it's baked? Now we're going
5:42
to bake the banana bread blondies in a 8
5:46
by 8 baking dish. We're going to spray
5:49
it with some cooking spray. You can even
5:51
butter the baking dish if you want to do
5:57
Bring your dish over.
6:07
Smooth it out evenly.
6:11
That way it cooks nice and even. I can
6:14
still see little bits of banana.
6:16
They're going to like give it a nice
6:21
Now, I'm just going to take a cloth here
6:24
and go on the handles of the dish
6:28
and along the edge here and make sure
6:29
there's no spray on there going into my
6:36
Here we go. That's what it should look
6:37
like. We're going to bake this in the
6:39
oven for 20 to 25 minutes. It's been
6:46
Now, when it's done, the edges should be
6:49
nice and set and you should be able to
6:51
take a toothpick and put it through the
6:52
center of it, pull it out and be nice
6:54
and clean or have a few crumbs on it.
6:57
Now, we're going to let it rest in the
6:58
baking dish for 10 minutes afterwards
7:03
and then we will remove it to a wire
7:06
rack and then cool it down completely.
7:12
You want to take one?
7:15
Here are my chewy banana bread blondies.
7:23
All right. I got one on a plate here.
7:42
I love this banana bread. It's got the
7:44
chewiness of a brownie. Mhm.
7:48
I love the walnuts in there. It gives it
7:49
a nice little crunch. And those
7:51
chocolate chips, woo, they just melt on
7:54
in there. That texture of this blondie
8:00
All right, you guys. Going to Thomas
8:02

8:08
