BANANA BARS
It seems like at our house, the bananas either get gobbled up immediately…or they sit and get ripe really quickly. Does that happen at your house? We often have bananas we need to use up which is always a good thing in my mind. One of our favorite ways to use up our ripe bananas is to make these delicious Banana Bars!

BANANA BARS RECIPE
Banana Blondies with Chocolate Chips
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter unsalted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour gluten-free flour works well here
- 1/2 cup banana mashed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 ounces chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9 X 13 pan and set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted, stir in the brown sugar and take the pan off the heat.
-
Stir in the white sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring to incorporate after each addition. Add the flour one cup at a time. Stir in the banana if you are using it. Stir in the vanilla and the salt.
-
Add the chocolate chips. I like to reserve about 1/2 cup and sprinkle them on top of the batter once it is in the pan.
-
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden and just a touch golden-brown around the edges.

I will definitely be giving these a try! I have some bananas to use up so right now is the perfect time too!
Nicole Q-Schmitz says
YUM! I just made these (and am eating them right now hot out of the oven) and they are very good. I did find that it took a while for the center of the pan to cook, so I might make this recipe in muffin tins next time.
Oh, and I used mini chocolate and white chocolate chips too!
Catherine says
These were awesome! Can’t stop eating them! I did think this was a lot of sugar so I sub half the sugar for Greek yogurt. I left most of the brown sugar. They were still plenty sweet enough and had some extra hidden protein, no one noticed. Yummy! Thanks.

Glad you are enjoying them. I will have to try less sugar next time I make them.
My girls and I made them last night and while I cooked them an extra 5 or 10 minutes to get them to look like the picture when I cut into them they were still very moist in the center. Between the banana and all that sugar they were way too sweet for our taste. I think next time I’m going to cut all the measurements of sugar and banana in half and see if we get a texture and sweetness more to our liking.
Hope they turn out the second time you make them. You definitely can change the recipe to your liking!
