Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Bars

It seems like every week, we have ripe bananas that need used. This week we made chocolate chip banana bread bars- so much easier than actual bread! I used the SWERVE sugar substitute and their chocolate chips for these and eliminated over 800 calories from the entire recipe- use whatever type of sugar you desire!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar- SWERVE
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 very ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups Kamut flour (or 1 3/4 cup all-purpose)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar- SWERVE
  • 1 cup chocolate chips- SWERVE

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan (10% off with SARAH_BOWMAR10) with nonstick baking spray or line with parchment paper
  • With a stand mixer, beat together the 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, melted and cooled, 1 cup packed brown sugar, 4 eggs, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until well blended. Mix in the very ripe bananas (mashed) until combined
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in the 1/2 cup chopped pecans, if using. Fold in chocolate chips
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup granulated sugar evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center. Let the bread cool slightly in the pan on a rack. Cut into squares to serve
