I pinned a recipe a couple weeks ago that I was dying to try for Banana Bars. When I discovered this morning my bananas on the counter top were turning overripe I thought, "Today is my lucky day! It's time for Banana Bars!" Here's the recipe!
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups mashed banana
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Mix together the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and banana. Then add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Put half of the mixture into a separate bowl and add the cocoa. Grease the bottom of a 9x13 or smaller bar pan and pour the cocoa mixture in. Put the rest of the mixture on top of that. Sprinkle with chocolate chips(I did less than 1 c.) Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes or until the top is browned and a toothpick comes out clean. I'm going to cut these up and store them in the freezer for snacks!

Yum!
Two things I would do different is only use half the sugar and use part or all wheat flour to take away from of the guilt of eating a yummy dessert!
