3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in 1 large egg until well combined.
5. Mash 2 ripe bananas and stir them into the butter mixture.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour mixture) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup butterscotch chips.
8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (slightly gooey is okay).
10. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
11. Cut into bars and enjoy! Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
