Delicious Banana Chocolate Chip Cookie-Style Bars - packed with dark chocolate
Banana Chocolate Chip Bars
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Butter or line with parchment paper an 8x12 pan (or 9x13).
In a large bowl or mixer, blend well, making sure bananas are nicely mashed:
2 overripe bananas
1/2 cup butter, softened (OR 1/4 cup butter + 1/4 cup oil)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
Add and mix in:
2 eggs
1/4 cup applesauce (no added sugar, cinnamon applesauce works well, too)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Add in, stirring well until combined:
1 cup Kristin's Gluten-Free Flour Mix (OR 1 cup GF flour of your choice + 1/4 tsp xanthan gum)
1/2 cup whole oats (make sure they're gluten-free if Celiac or sensitive)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Add in, stirring to evenly distribute:
1/2 - 1 cup dark and/or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Spread in a thin layer in prepared pan.
Ready to bake!
Bake at 350 F for 20-24 minutes, until nicely golden browned on top. Let cool (at least a little bit), slice and enjoy!
Fresh from the oven - they end up looking such a nice golden brown.
These never cool completely before we taste-test them. They last well for a couple days on the counter in a closed container. You can also slice and freeze extras.
Sliced and ready to eat! Love them warm.
