Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the eggs to the bowl, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Banana Snack Cake!
