Make moist, thick banana bars studded with melted chocolate chips. This recipe yields a chewy, satisfying dessert perfect for using up ripe bananas.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract and mashed bananas until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For an extra gooey texture, use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • You can substitute 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for half of the chocolate chips.
  • If your bananas are not very ripe, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice to the mashed banana to prevent browning.
