Instructions
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack placed in the middle. Grease the inside of an 8×8-inch baking dish (I like to use avocado oil spray) and set aside.
Mix wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash or puree the peeled bananas using a fork or mixer. Stir in the coconut oil, milk, vanilla extract, egg, and brown sugar.
Add remaining ingredients: Stir in the flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Bake: Pour batter into baking dish. Add additional chocolate chips on top. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the middle.
Cool and serve: Remove the bars from the oven and place on a rack until completely cooled. Gently remove from the pan by picking up the parchment paper and cut into squares.
