Banana Chocolate Chip Blondies
These Banana Chocolate Chip Blondies are full of banana flavour and loaded with chocolate chips, for a gooey moist melt in your mouth treat.
So you guys, I am a HUGE fan of brownies and blondies and just trying new variations of the two. You can easily add anything to them, nuts, candy, cookies, dried fruit; really anything you like. So of course I had to make one that resembled an all time favourite of mine, Banana Bread. I mean who doesn’t love a good slice of banana bread and when it’s warm, look out I can not wait to cut into it and devour.

It literally just melts in your mouth. Don’t take my work for it you have to make it to see for yourself, they are simple and easy to make.
