Black Bottom Banana Bars is a cakes & baking recipe that takes about 45 min from start to finish and serves 5. It calls for 11 ingredients across 8 steps, and is rated easy. A serving works out at around 718 kcal with roughly 7 g of protein. Filed under lacto ovo vegetarian, vegetarian, family gatherings and comfort food.
Spread the cocoa-infused batter evenly across the bottom of a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Spoon the plain banana batter on top.
If you like, gently swirl the two batters together with a butter knife for a marbled effect, then sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick or fork inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden and spring back when gently pressed.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into 24 squares.
