Bake of the Week: Banoffee Blondies

NEARLY everyone loves brownies – if you don’t, what’s wrong with you? This week, though, we have an alternative for you.

Blondies are usually made with chocolate chips, but without cocoa. These have added banana – so that means we can pretend they’re very good for us!

If you prefer a “gooey” blondie, don’t overmix once you’ve added the flour.

Thanks to Aldi for this week’s recipe.

150g salted butter

200g Everyday Essentials white chocolate

200g caster sugar

3 eggs

200g self-raising flour

2 bananas

100g milk chocolate

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160C fan/gas mark 4/350F.

Grease a 25cm square tin.

Melt the butter and white chocolate together in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.

Stir in the sugar and add the eggs one at a time.

Chop the bananas up into 1cm thick half-moons and break the chocolate up into small chunks – it’s your choice on size.

Add the flour and mix to a batter, then stir in the bananas and milk chocolate.

Pour into the greased tin and bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes, or 22-25 minutes if you want a more “cakey” blondie.
