How to Make Banana Nut Snacks
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Lightly grease the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter until well combined.
- Beat in 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans) and 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the glaze(s):
- **Glaze 1 (Powdered Sugar Glaze):** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons water until smooth. Transfer to a small zip-top bag.
- **Glaze 2 (Chocolate Glaze):** In another small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons water, and 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth. Transfer to a small zip-top bag.
- Once the bars have cooled for 15 minutes, carefully lift them from the pan using the foil overhang. Snip a small corner off each bag and drizzle both glazes over the cooled bars.
