- 2 ripe bananas mashed

- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp baking powder

Mix-Ins
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp flour for coating chips

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8×8 pan with parchment.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Whisk bananas, sugar, melted butter, eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture just until combined. Batter should stay thick and creamy.

Notes
For softer texture, remove when center is just set. For crispier edges, bake a few extra minutes. Freeze wrapped slices up to two months. Chill before slicing for cleaner pieces. Add walnuts, peanut butter chips, or cinnamon for flavor changes. Store covered two days room temperature or five days chilled.
