How to make these yummy Banana Blondies with Maple Frosting:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease and flour a 9 x 9 inch baking dish. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl combine the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, bananas, and pecans.
Then add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until combined. The batter will be thick. Spread into the prepared pan.
