Ingredients

  • Chocolate Chip Banana Bars:
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 egg, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 small overripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Caramel Buttercream:
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 tbsp caramel sauce
  • 1-2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 cup mini chocolate chips (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar until smooth, about three minutes.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix well.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add this mixture to the wet ingredients and beat until well combined.
  5. Mash 2 1/2 bananas and set the remaining half aside. Fold the mashed bananas into the mixture until fully combined.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top of the batter.
  7. Pour the banana mixture into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top, and bake for 30-35 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Then, flip onto a cooling rack.
  9. To make the frosting, beat the butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, caramel sauce, heavy cream, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth and creamy, about three to five minutes.
  10. Slice the squares, pipe frosting onto each cooled square, and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
