Banana Toffee Blondies
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
1 3/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 1/4 cups toffee bits
1 cup finely diced banana (1/4-inch cubes)
Confectioners’ sugar
Line a 9-inch square cake pan with parchment or wax paper. Grease and
flour paper and sides of pan. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in
a bowl. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer until
fluffy. Add vanilla extract. Beat in eggs briefly, one at a time,
until blended. Add flour mixture a little at a time, beating on low
speed just until blended. By hand, stir in 1 cup toffee bits and
banana. Pour into prepared pan. (If using an 8-inch-square pan, bake
the excess batter in greased and floured mini muffin tins.) Sprinkle
remaining 1/4 cup toffee bits on top. Bake at 350 degrees F for 30
minutes (20 minutes for mini muffins). Cool, then remove from pan and
cut into 9 to 16 squares.
