Banana Chocolate Chip Bars

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Banana Chocolate Chip Bars.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan with a sprinkle of flour to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, take a moment to cream together the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a delightful base for your bars.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in a beaten egg and a splash of vanilla extract, mixing well to infuse those lovely flavors.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to fold in the mashed bananas, ensuring they’re fully incorporated for that moist texture we all love.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, creating a perfect blend of dry ingredients.

6. Step 6

   Gradually fold this mixture into your wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix—just combine until you see no dry flour.

7. Step 7

   To add a touch of indulgence, stir in the semisweet chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the batter.

8. Step 8

   Now, pour the luscious batter into your prepared pan, spreading it out evenly to create a beautiful surface.

   Place it in the preheated oven and let it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the bars are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, signaling that they’re ready.
