- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add in the yogurt, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined. Beat in eggs, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix in the flour until just combined. Stir in 1.5 cups of the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For best results, use ripe bananas. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. These bars can be frozen for up to 2 months.
