Notes

TIP! Use room-temperature eggs so your batter blends smoothly. If you forgot to take them out pop the eggs into a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes.

Check the label of the dark chocolate chips to ensure there are no milk products so this recipe remains dairy-free.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or store in the fridge for up to a week.

Skip the chocolate chips on top and spread a cream cheese frosting on instead for a more cake like experience. Just wait until the banana bars have cooled before adding any frosting.

Substitute honey or maple syrup for the coconut sugar. Simply mix it in with the wet ingredients instead.
