Ingredients

• 3 pieces Ripe bananas
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
• 1 pieces Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Mini semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. Add the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Gently stir in the mini semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 10

Let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into 12 bars or squares.

Step 11

Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
