Recipe: Healthy Vegan Banana Blondies

"Can't you just make one or the other?".... at this point I was cursing myself for giving them a name, thinking I would have been much better off calling it banana bread and sticking it in a loaf tin - but I stuck to my plan, knowing it would be all sorts of delicious and Jesse would forget all about the name once he tried them.

Whilst they were baking in the oven I could head Jesse drooling over the smell from his office and the second I pulled them out he was there, eagerly awaiting the moment I sliced them up so he could try one. A few minutes later they were cool enough to cut and I popped one on a plate and took it into him.

Ingredient :

• 1 1/4 cups mashed ripe banana (280g or 2 large)
• 1 1/2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil, melted (or butter or a neutral tasting oil)
• 1/4 cup (~50g) coconut sugar or brown sugar*
• 1/4 cup milk of your choice
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup (180g) gluten free plain flour 
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• ~1/4 cup pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped (optional - you can also mix through chocolate chips, dried fruit or whatever you fancy!)

Instruction :

• Preheat your oven to 160C/320F
• Grease and/or line a 8" or smaller brownie tin. We like to use a 6-7" brownie tin for thicker blondies! Alternatively, you can double the recipe and use a medium sized rectangular tin.
• In a mixing bowl, mash your banana and add in your melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, milk and vanilla, mixing until combined.
• Add in your flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until just combined.
• Stir through your nuts or mix ins, if using, and pour your blondie mix into your prepared tin.
