Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup mashed banana from about 1 ½ large, very ripe bananas
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter or refined coconut oil
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract King Arthur Pure Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar or dark brown sugar, packed
- ¾ teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions
Bake Mode
- Preheat the oven to 350°F with a rack in the center. Lightly grease an 8" square pan, then line it with a parchment sling.
- In a large saucepan, mash the banana with the sugars until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then cook, stirring frequently until shiny, syrupy, and caramelized. This will take about 4 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat, let cool for about 5 minutes, then add the butter, yolk, and vanilla. Stir until creamy and emulsified.
- Whisk in the salt and baking powder, then stir in the flour until only a few dry streaks remain. Let the batter cool for about 5 minutes, then stir in the nuts and chocolate. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.
