Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Grease an 8-inch baking dish with a coat of butter and dust with flour or spray with non-stick spray. Set aside.

Combine flour, baking soda, salt, peanut butter chips and crushed banana chips in a mixing bowl.

Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar, butter and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed.

Add eggs. Beat mixture on high until it is fluffy and thoroughly combined.

Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the sugar/butter mixture. Stir quite well to thoroughly combine all ingredients.

Spoon all of the mixture into the baking dish.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool completely. Cut into bars and enjoy.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Toast Your Chips for Intensity 🍌
Lightly toast the banana and peanut butter chips in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes before folding into the batter to intensify their flavors and prevent them from melting completely during baking.
Room Temperature Butter is Essential 🧈
Ensure your unsalted butter is at room temperature before creaming with sugar; this creates tiny air pockets that make the bars tender and cake-like rather than dense.
Don't Overmix the Batter ⚡
Mix only until the dry ingredients are just combined to avoid developing too much gluten, which would make your bars tough and chewy instead of soft and gooey.
Use Parchment Paper for Easy Release 📄
Line your baking pan with parchment paper extending up the sides so you can easily lift and remove the entire sheet of bars for clean, uniform cuts without wastage.
Cool Completely Before Cutting ❄️
Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 2 hours before cutting; cutting while warm will cause them to crumble and fall apart, losing their gooey texture.
