This blondie recipe uses banana flour for a Pacific twist. Our banana flour was made by Edward Pono Jones of Hooulu Aina, by slicing peeled green banana and then baking at 150° for 15 hours. The resulting, completely dried chunks were then powdered into flour with a high powered blender. Thanks for giving us such a fun ingredient to work with, Pono!
