Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ⅓ cup cocoa powder
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips

• ⅓ cup coconut sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Coat paper lightly with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Place mashed bananas in a bowl. Stir in coconut sugar, egg, butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.

Step 3

Stir flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate, smaller bowl. Add to the banana mixture and mix until incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.

Step 4

Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 16 to 20 minutes. Lift out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang; place onto a cutting board. Slice into bars and let cool.
