Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 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. (Alternatively, 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.
Notes
- *Look for dulce de leche alongside other spreads, in the international foods section, or with the ice cream toppings.
