Peanut Butter Banana chocolate Chip Bars

Peanut Butter Banana Bars


5 very ripe bananas (about 1 2/3 cup)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup oil (any type- I use coconut)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup flour (I regularly swap out all-purpose flour for whole wheat!)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, divided
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 15×10.5″ pan with non-stick spray.
Peel bananas and mash well. Stir in brown sugar, oil, peanut butter, eggs and vanilla until combined.
Add in dry ingredients and stir. Fold in 1/2 the chocolate chips.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle remaining chips on top. Bake 18-20 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool completely and cut into squares. Bars can be kept at room temperature, but I find they last longer if stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
