Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
- Mix the softened butter and brown sugar for 2-3 minutes. Add the bananas and mix until well combined. The batter will curdle, but that's okay.
- Add the egg and mix until well combined. Then add the flour and salt until well incorporated. Make sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 34 minutes or until the center is fully set. Allow the bars to cool for 10 minutes, and enjoy!
Notes
- Don't overmix the batter or overbake the bars. I baked them at 350 degrees F. for 34 minutes and they were perfect but start checking them at the 30 minute mark.
- Allow the chocolate banana bars to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing into them.
- Serve them warm with vanilla ice cream for best results!
