These fudge-y, gluten free banana almond blondies are the perfect texture and the best way to use up spotted bananas.
When you have an abundance of spotted bananas… you get creative and then add chocolate for an over-the-top, healthy treat! These almond banana blondies were gone in less than 24 hours in my kitchen. In fact, I pulled these out of the oven around 4pm yesterday and when I got up at 4a to hit the gym… there were 2 left! Ummm okay, I get it. I’ll make more! 
Think of these as if banana bread and fudge had a baby. They are dense and delectable. The banana and almond flavors are very pronounced. These little squares are so dessert-like, filling and so good. Seriously, you need these in your life. The blonde version to an undercooked, ooey gooey brownie yet better! Mmmm kay? Now go, make these. Thank me later.
