Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas, sliced
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350°F (175°C) and thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, thoroughly combine melted butter with rich brown sugar until the mixture achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next, then gently blend in fragrant vanilla extract.
- Create a separate bowl to sift together flour, leavening agent, and mineral seasoning, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Delicately introduce dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring with minimal manipulation to prevent overworking the batter.
- Gently incorporate ripe, sliced bananas and decadent chocolate morsels, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to smooth the surface and ensure uniform thickness.
- Position the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, monitoring until a inserted testing implement emerges cleanly without raw batter.
- Remove from oven and allow the confection to cool completely before slicing into elegant squares for serving.
Notes
- Swap ripe bananas with frozen ones for extra moisture and deeper flavor intensity.
- Use whole wheat flour to boost nutritional value and add a nutty undertone to the bars.
- Create gluten-free version by substituting regular flour with almond or oat flour for dietary flexibility.
- Enhance texture by slightly underbaking to maintain a soft, gooey center that melts in your mouth.
