Banana Bread Bars with Chocolate and Pecans

Banana Bread Bars with Chocolate and Pecans

A great twist on banana bread, making these much cuter to eat and serve. They make a great grab-and-go or lunchbox snack. Make sure your bananas are super ripe, or brown even, for the sweetest taste. Don't overmix the batter to make sure these are mega moist; I just use a wooden spoon.

Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Bananas
  • 110 g Butter Melted
  • 75 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 50 g Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Medium Egg
  • 200 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 50 g Pecans (or any other nut), Chopped
  • 100 g Milk Chocolate Chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Line an 8" square baking tin.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Then add the butter, both sugars, vanilla and egg (ensure the butter has cooled a little so the egg doesn’t cook). Mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, chocolate and pecan nuts. Stir until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake for 30-35 minutes; until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
