Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉/180℃. Line a 9x9 baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a bowl, add in flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cornstarch, and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
    2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp cornstarch, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt
  • In a large bowl, add in butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until well combined.
    1/3 cup dark brown sugar, 1/3 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla. Continue mixing on medium speed until well combined. The mixture may curdle but that is normal.
    2 large eggs, 1 tbsp vanilla
  • Add in the bananas, oil, and sour cream. Mix together for another minute on medium speed, scraping the bowl when needed.
    1/4 cup full-fat sour cream, 2 tbsp oil, 1 1/2 cups ripe bananas
  • Add in the dry ingredients. With a spatula, gently fold until almost all the flour streaks have disappeared.
  • Toss in the chocolate chips, and continue to stir until all the flour streaks disappear and the chocolate chips are evenly distributed. Do not over-mix!
    3/4 cups mini chocolate chips
  • Transfer into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips and white sugar for a sweet top (optional).
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool, slice, and enjoy!
