Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
- 1 pieces Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Gently stir in the mini semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 12 bars or squares.
Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
