How To Make chunky monkey brownies

Step 1Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a 9×13” glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.
-
Step 2With electric mixer, beat together the butter, eggs, both sugars (brown and white), salt and vanilla for one minute (to add plenty of air to the batter). Add flour and mashed banana, and beat until combined. With a wooden spoon, stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
-
Step 3Pour batter into prepared baking dish. Smooth the surface with a knife or spatula. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup chocolate chips on top.

Step 4Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or just until lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
