This Banana Chocolate Chip Slice is the perfect recipe to use up your over-ripe bananas. Not only does it taste great, but it's just so easy to prepare. Because it's cooked in a tray as a slice, there's no need to ice it like you might a cake. There are no muffin cases to line and, you can cut the pieces to whatever size you like.

If you love to get ahead with your school lunch baking, why not try my Chocolate Muffins or my Pizza Loaves. Both are ideal for freezing.

Ingredient notes:

The ingredients to make banana and chocolate chip slice on a wooden bench top

Sugar: I uses brown sugar in this recipe for its lovely caramel flavour. You could swap this for plain white sugar if you needed to.
Bananas: It's important to use over-ripe or brown bananas in this recipe. If the bananas aren't quite ready (green or very pale yellow) they'll be harder to mash and will alter the chemistry of the slice.
Chocolate: Any kind of chocolate chip or drop will work in this recipe, you could even use chopped up chocolate.

Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Step by step instructions:

Preheat the oven to 170°C fan bake. Line a 17 x 27cm tin with baking paper. In a large bowl melt butter in the microwave in 30 second bursts. Add the sugar and whisk until combined.

Recipe FAQs:

Can I use frozen bananas to make this recipe?

Yes you can. Allow frozen bananas to thaw completely then drain the excess liquid (this can alter the consistency of the cake if there's too much liquid). Mash the bananas well until they are a smooth consistency, then add to the baking.

Can I use a different type of chocolate?

Absolutely! You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate chips or drops. You can even use a block of chocolate chopped up.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to four days.

This slice can also be frozen. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to three months.
