bar none

I sort of made two mis-steps in making these 'monkey bars' that they turned out be more like banana bread than bars. First I forgot to add the sugar and only just remember after I had poured the batter into a (second boo boo here) smaller baking pan so the batter cooked much thicker than bars should.

Monkey Bars or Banana Bread
ingredients:
- about 5 bananas  mashed ripe bananas

- 3/4 cups   packed light-brown sugar

- 1/4 cup   oil

- 1/4 cup   milk

- 2  eggs

- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 1 teaspoon each baking soda and cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 3/4 cups white whole-wheat flour

- 1 cup  mini chocolate chips

how to:

- heat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking pan with nonstick foil with a little overhand and slightly grease it.

- whisk mashed bananas, sugar, oil, milk, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl until mixed thoroughly. Whisk in flour just until blended; gently stir in 1⁄2 cup of the mini chocolate chips.
-spread batter in prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake 15 to 20 minutes until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on wire rack.
- Holding foil by ends, lift from pan onto a cutting board. Cut and serve.

 all prepared

 whoops forgot the sugar!!! added it last minute and tried my best to mix it in the pan!

 saved! now sprinkle white and dark choco chips

 hmmm mmm banana chocolatey!

served with mocha coffee jelly

I still declare this recipe a success even with the mis-steps, the bars or should I say bread were moist even with just a small amount of oil added because of the bananas. Moist banana chocolatey goodness! I like!
