Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture and whisk until smooth and creamy.
Gently stir in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined; do not overmix.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Pour the banana batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out evenly.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the batter, then use a knife or skewer to swirl it into the batter, creating a marbled pattern.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Cool the bars in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into 16 squares.
Serve and enjoy your marbled banana bars!
