How to Make Chocolate Bottom Banana Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Mash 3 ripe bananas and add them to the wet ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Spread the chocolate batter evenly in the prepared baking pan.
- Spoon the remaining banana batter over the chocolate layer. Swirl gently with a butter knife for a marbled effect. Sprinkle with ½ cup chocolate chips.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into 24 squares.
