What ingredients are in chocolate chip banana blondies?
These chocolate chip banana blondies contain simple, wholesome, vegan and gluten-free ingredients. Check out the full ingredients list below:

How to make chocolate chip banana blondies (vegan, gluten-free)
Begin by mashing ripe bananas. Measure 1 cup mashed banana and add to a large bowl.
Then, add nut butter, coconut sugar, nondairy milk, and vanilla extract. Mix ingredients to thoroughly combine.
Next, add almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until thoroughly combined.
After, toss in vegan chocolate chips. Mix together.
Pour and spread the batter across a square baking dish (lined with parchment paper or greased with oil to prevent sticking). Be sure to evenly cover the base of the baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes.
Allow the chocolate chip banana blondies to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Kaylie’s Tips:
- Be sure to use ripe bananas. Ripe bananas contain a yellow peel with several brown spots across it. If you use underripe bananas, your chocolate chip banana blondies will not have as moist a texture or as sweet a flavor!
- As listed in the recipe, any type of nut butter can be used for this recipe. As a peanut butter lover, I chose to use this peanut butter. However, you can use almond butter or cashew butter. If you have a nut allergy, try sunflower seed butter instead!
- I prefer these vegan chocolate chips. Other great options are to break up a dark chocolate bar, use mini chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks.
- Store these chocolate chip banana bars in an airtight container. To prolong freshness, keep in the refrigerator.
- I have not tested this recipe with other varieties of flour, but I presume it would work just fine. The texture will be a bit different, though. Replace the flours at your own discretion! If you happen to try another flour, I would love to hear whether or not it worked for you in the comments below. 🙂
