Banana Chocolate Chip Bars

July 12, 2012 by Julie 5 Comments

My generous aunt Ann recently gave me several of her cookbooks.  It was a win-win situation.  She wanted less clutter in her house.  I wanted more clutter.  Wait, no that’s not right.  Ah well, it’s hard to resist free cookbooks!

She later asked me which cookbook I dove into first.

Uh…the cookie cookbook, OF COURSE!

Banana Chocolate Chip Bars

Recipe from Nestle’s Best-Ever Cookies cookbook

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1 egg
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
sifted powdered sugar

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a large 15 x 10 inch jelly-roll pan.  Set pan aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.  Set bowl aside.

In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy.  Beat in the bananas and egg.  Gradually beat in your flour mixture.

Stir in the chocolate chips.  Spread batter into your prepared jelly-roll pan.

Bake for 20-30 minutes.

Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.  Sprinkle cooled bars with powdered sugar.

These bars are not overly sweet.  I enjoyed three a bar for breakfast.  Add a smear of peanut butter on top and a glass a milk…fast breakfast of champions.

    That is my kind of breakfast. Looks good and I would love some more clutter with cookbooks.

    Had to pin this, I love when I can sneak a little healthy into my picky eater’s diet. I’ll just have to make sure she’s at a friends when I make then and that the other kids don’t rat me out!

    MMM. I am thinking of a peanut butter frosting you could adapt for these. I would definitely eat one (or two) for breakfast.
