Chocolate chip banana bars are moist and tender banana bars with a thick and chewy blondie-like texture, filled with sweet chocolate chips. These buttery banana chocolate chip bars are quick, easy to make, and are a great alternative to banana bread.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150 g) light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 2 teaspoons (10 ml) vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (128 g) mini chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8 (20 cm) pan with parchment paper along the bottom and two sides.
  2. Melt the butter: Place the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt the butter in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir the butter and cool for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients: In another mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  4. Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cooled butter with light brown sugar. Whisk in the egg, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Combine wet and dry: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  6. Smooth batter and bake: Smooth the banana batter into the prepared pan. Top with more mini chocolate chips. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
  7. Cool and serve: Cool the bars in the pan to room temperature. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Notes:

  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to one month.
