    Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined.
    5
    |
    Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, stirring just until combined.

    Tips & Tricks (5)

    • Banana Ripeness Matters 🍌
      Use extremely ripe, almost black bananas for maximum flavor intensity and natural sweetness in your Chunky Monkey Bars.
    • Toasting Walnut Magic 🥜
      Always toast walnuts in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes before chopping to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more complex taste profile.
    • Chocolate Chunk Distribution 🍫
      Reserve some chocolate chunks to sprinkle on top of the batter just before baking for a more visually appealing and textured final result.
    • Moisture Control Technique 💧
      Pat the mashed bananas with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy bars and ensuring a perfect texture.
    • Pan Preparation Pro Tip 🧈
      Line your baking pan with parchment paper with overhang for easy removal and clean, perfect-looking bars every time.
