Brown Butter Frosted Banana Nut Bread Blondies image

Recently made these. The recipe comes from "Confections from the Cody Kitchen" blog. The original recipe calls these Banana Bread Brownies, but I don't want anyone to assume there'll be chocolate involved and be disappointed. So mine are named Blondies. Be sure to use a high quality vanilla in the frosting - you will be...

ALMOST-FAMOUS MAPLE-BUTTER BLONDIES



Almost-Famous Maple-Butter Blondies image

When two brothers opened the first Applebee's in 1980, they gave it the clunky name T.J. Applebee's Rx for Edibles & Elixirs. The name changed six years later, but the chain's insanely popular Maple-Butter Blondies didn't come along until 2004. They're made with walnuts and white chocolate and served in a sizzling skillet with ice cream and maple-butter sauce. Applebee's sells about 2.5 million of the sundaes every year, and readers like Julie Thornton of Dover, PA, have been begging us to track down the recipe. The eatery's Kansas headquarters refused to reveal it, so Food Network Kitchens engineered this spot-on imitation.

Time 55m

Yield 9 blondies

Number Of Ingredients 15

10 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pan
1 cup walnut pieces
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
6 ounces white chocolate, cut into chunks
1/3 cup maple syrup
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
Vanilla ice cream, for serving
1/2 cup walnut pieces

Steps:

  • Make the blondies: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on two sides; butter the foil. Pulse 1/2 cup walnuts in a food processor until almost fine (do not overprocess). Whisk the ground nuts, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat 10 tablespoons butter and the brown sugar with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the vanilla. Gradually beat in the dry ingredients until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate and the remaining 1/2 cup walnuts.
  • Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake until the blondies are light brown around the edges and spring back when pressed, about 30 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack.
  • Meanwhile, make the topping: Place the maple syrup and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until the mixture bubbles and thickens, swirling the pan, about 6 minutes. Add the cream and continue to cook until the mixture is the consistency of caramel.
  • Use the foil to lift the blondies out of the pan, then cut into large bars. Serve warm topped with ice cream, the maple-butter sauce and the walnuts.

BANANA NUT SCONES WITH MAPLE GLAZE



Banana Nut Scones with Maple Glaze image

Deliciously moist, flaky, and crumbly banana nut scones with maple glaze. Not quite banana bread or banana muffins, but everything you crave for breakfast!

Provided by Sally

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large ripe bananas)
1/4 cup (60g) plain Greek yogurt (or any plain yogurt or sour cream)
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 and 1/2 cups (313g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoons (70g) unsalted butter, frozen
1 cup (125g) chopped walnuts (optional)
top before baking: 3 Tablespoons (45ml) milk and coarse sugar
2 Tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
1 cup (112g) sifted confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the mashed bananas, yogurt, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract together. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Grate the frozen butter (I use a box grater to grate it; a food processor also works for grating). Toss the grated butter into the flour mixture and combine it with a pastry cutter, two forks, a food processor, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Set aside.
  • Drizzle wet ingredients over flour mixture, add the walnuts, and then toss the mixture together with a rubber spatula until everything appears moistened. Try your best to not overwork the dough at any point. Dough will be sticky and a little wet. Drop scones, 1/4 cup of dough each, at least 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Brush scones with milk, then top with a little coarse sugar if desired for extra crunch. Tastes great!
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool as you make the icing. The scones taste even better after they cool down!
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and maple syrup together, whisking occasionally. Once the butter has melted, remove from heat and whisk in the sifted confectioners' sugar. Drizzle over scones.
  • Scones are best enjoyed right away, though leftover scones keep well at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 3-5 days.

Tips:

  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute honey or agave nectar.
