Easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bars Recipe

Easy Chocolate Chip Banana Bars Recipe

  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 ripe bananas (mashed)

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (packed)

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (plus extra for topping)

  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mash the Bananas

In a large mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this step.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if using) into the batter. Reserve a handful of chocolate chips to sprinkle on top before baking.

Step 6: Bake the Bars

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve

Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Once completely cooled, cut into squares and serve.
