Instructions:
-
Cream first three ingredients together: In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, margarine, and sugar. Cream them together until smooth and well incorporated.

Mix in bananas: Peel the bananas and mash them using a fork or potato masher. Add the mashed bananas to the creamed mixture and stir until evenly combined.

Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.

Stir in chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
-
Prepare baking pan: Grease and flour a 10×5 inch jelly roll pan to prevent sticking.
-
Spread batter: Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and slice: Allow the Choco-Banana Squares to cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing them into squares or bars. Serve and enjoy!
These Choco-Banana Squares are best enjoyed fresh, but can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. Enjoy them as a delicious treat any time of day, whether as a snack or dessert!
