Ingredients
Scale
3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
In a separate bowl, stir the mashed bananas with the melted butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until glossy and well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are perfectly fine.
Fold in the chocolate chips and, if you like, the nuts. The batter will be thick and a bit glossy.
Spread evenly in the prepared pan. A spatula or the back of a spoon helps smooth the top for even baking.
Bake for 22–26 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The center should spring back when gently pressed.
Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then lift out using the parchment overhang and slice into bars.
Notes
Cozy, chewy banana chocolate chip bars that are simple to make, portable, and perfect for busy days or lazy weekends. Banana aroma and melty chocolate chips come together in a soft, bar-shaped treat.
