Equipment
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas about 3 large or 4 medium, over-ripe bananas
- 4 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour of choice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray.
- In a food processor or large mixing bowl, combine the bananas, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.
- Add the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt and process or mix until just blended (don't over-mix, mix just until the flour is incorporated). Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a wooden pick inserted near the center comes out with little moist bits clinging to it.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
