Chocolate Chip Banana Bars

By Nanadi-2

I like to make a batch, then cool, cut and freeze in individual baggies. Since they’re filling, they make a wonderful snack, breakfast or school lunch addition.

Ingredients

• 5 5 1 2/3 ripe bananas (about 1 2/3 cup)
• 3/4 3/4 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup oil (any type- I use coconut)
• 1/4 1/4 1/4 cup milk
• 2 2 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 1 3/4 3/4 cup flour (I regularly swap out all-purpose flour for whole wheat!)
• 1 1 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 1/2 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 1 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 1 1 cup mini chocolate chips, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 15×10.5″ pan with non-stick spray.
Peel bananas and mash well. Stir in brown sugar, oil, milk and eggs until combined.
Add in dry ingredients and stir. Fold in 1/2 the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle remaining chips on top. Bake 18-22 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool completely and cut into squares.
