At the heart of the Choco-Banana Bliss Bars are ripe bananas. Using ripe bananas is crucial for achieving the perfect texture and flavor in your baked goods. As bananas ripen, their starch content converts into sugar, resulting in a sweeter and more flavorful fruit. This natural sweetness not only enhances the taste of the bars but also contributes to their moisture, preventing them from becoming dry during the baking process.

Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and melted butter. Stir until smooth.

      Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar to the banana mixture, mixing until well combined.

        Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

          In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

            Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

              Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

                Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

                  Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                    Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Choco-Banana Bliss Bars!
