Chunky Monkey Brownies

By duckieq

Ingredients

• 2 cups Gold medal UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
• 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 cup banana, mashed with a fork (about one medium-large banana)
• 10-oz. Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate baking melts (or 12-oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips)
• 1/4 cup Nestle's chocolate chips for the top

Preparation

Step 1

Mix butter, eggs, sugars, salt and vanilla with an electric mixer until well mixed.
Add flour, mashed banana and baking melts (or chocolate chips).
Stir with a wooden spoon to combine.
Spray a 9x13” glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Spread brownie mixture into prepared pan.
Smooth the top with a knife or rubber spatula.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.
Bake at 350° for 30-40 minutes just until lightly golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool completely before cutting into bars.
