INGREDIENTS

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 cup (200g) firmly packed lightly brown sugar

1 large egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup (226g) mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)

3 tablespoons dulce de leche

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.


Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.


In a separate bowl, combine the cooled butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until thoroughly combined.


Add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Mix in the bananas.


Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly.


Dollop the dulce de leche over the top of the batter. Use a thin knife to swirl the dulce de leche into the batter. (Alternately, you can mix it into the batter before transferring to the pan.)


Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.


Cool in the pan before cutting into bars.
