Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Stir in the melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the bowl, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the cake tender.
Step 7
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top of the batter.
Step 8
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 10
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Banana Snack Cake!
