If you were lucky as a child, you might’ve occasionally found a fluffernutter sandwich in your lunchbox a time or two, making all the other kids around you with plain PB&J‘s extremely jealous (thanks, mom). If you were one of those kids with the PB&J’s and never got to experience the gold that is a fluffernutter sandwich, I’m sorry. If you don’t know, a fluffernutter sandwich has marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, and if you’re really going all out, bananas, smashed between two slices of bread.
This recipe incorporates these ingredients into a banana-based blondie that’s topped with peanut butter frosting. It’s like a cross between a blondie, banana bread, and a fluffernutter sandwich, which would most definitely earn you a spot at the cool kid’s table.
