Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips to the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Banana Peanut Butter Quick Bake as is, or with a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness!
