How to Make Marbled Banana Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash bananas until smooth. Add sugar, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the melted chocolate chips.
  6. Spoon alternating scoops of banana batter and chocolate batter into the prepared pan. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
