Breakfast? Dessert? Snack? Sometimes a food is so nice you'll want it at every meal: these banana chocolate chip bars include plenty of chocolate goodness while being just the right amount of sweet.

Banana Chocolate Chip Bars
Depending on where you grew up, banana bread might be among the first things you learned to bake. Bananas getting too ripe? Mash 'em up and give them new life!
This ain't your grandma's banana bread, though. In fact, as you can see from the title, it isn't banana bread at all. These are banana chocolate chip bars.
But what's a bar?

Everything's a bar... if you cut it right. These might end up becoming banana chocolate chip squares, circles, stars, or just a big ol' loaf. The point is: they're darn tasty, any way you slice it.
You may not be a fan of bananas, but I'd still challenge you to taste these bars and tell me you don't want to take another bite.
Banana Bars with Chocolate Chips
Adding something to that batter you just finished whipping up? There's a good chance it'll be chocolate chips. I'd reckon they're just about the most popular baking ingredient to mix in.
Here, chocolate chips take center stage. But make no mistake: these bars aren't just a vehicle for your favorite chocolate morsels. The whole recipe is a great balance of texture and flavor.

I store these bars in a sealed container. I also like to keep them in the fridge, as they taste great when cooled down as well as warm, but this isn't necessary.
