post updated June 2017
My kids love to eat! Most days my 5 year old boy will eat double what I eat. I get nervous for when he is a teenager, cause I don’t think we’ll be able to afford that grocery bill 🙂
I always like to have some sort of snack type food in the kitchen for them; something I can put in Ziploc bags and leave on the counter so they can grab it themselves. These chocolate chip banana yogurt snack bars are always the first thing I make when there are bananas going bad on the counter. I love that it has the added Greek yogurt and uses white whole wheat flour for an added nutrition boost.
These are an easy treat to get your kids involved too. Have them use a fork and mash the bananas up or they can sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Or, if you’re kids are like mine they can lick the spoon after I make these delicious treats!
Everything gets mixed up in one bowl for an easy, less mess snack to make. They bake up into a soft and thick snack bar. They actually remind me of cake-like brownies! Loaded with chocolate and banana, you really can’t go wrong.
I hope you love these as much as we do! Use up those brown bananas on the counter and whip up these delicious snack bars.

October 27, 2015 at 2:42 am Made these today and they turned out well, I made it x 1.5 to do a 9x13 pan. I don't like banana too much so it was a little too much for me. But my daughter loved them. Great snack if you like banana and easy, thanks!Together As Family

December 31, 2016 at 4:51 pm The ingredients states 1egg but in the directions it says eggs (plural). Is it one egg or two. I'm ready to make them now so I probably won't hear back right away so I don't know if they'll come out rightTogether As Family
January 1, 2017 at 2:49 pm Hi Gayle! So sorry I am late getting back to you. It is just 1 egg. I will change the plural egg(s) in the directions. Sorry for the confusion :)Denise
