Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 medium)

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until well combined.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Stir in the mashed bananas.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If desired, stir in chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

For extra banana flavor, use very ripe bananas. You can also add a cream cheese frosting for an even richer treat.
