I have not made any banana flavored treat in quite some time.  So today, I decided to make chocolate banana bars with milk chocolate chips and brown butter frosting.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Also, preheat your oven to 350 degrees before baking.

• Ingredients list
• 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed into measuring cup
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9×13 pan with baking spray and set aside.  In a bowl, blend bananas and melted butter.  Mix in sugars.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients then milk.  Fold in chips.  Evenly spread into prepared pan.  Bake 20 to 25 minutes (toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs).  Cool completely.

• Frosting ingredients
• 1/2 cup butter
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 3 tbs milk

Directions – in a pan, cook butter over low-medium heat until browned, like below.  

In a bowl, combine  browned butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.  Frost cooled bars. 

Cut and store in covered container.
