Cheesecake Layer
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Banana Cake Batter
  • 2 medium overripe bananas The riper, the sweeter!
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat flour.
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 6 ounces milk chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang.
  2. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the softened butter, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla extract. Whip on high speed for about two minutes and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the bananas for about one minute. Mix in the melted butter, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs. Beat for another two minutes until well incorporated.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, and baking powder into the banana mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Pour the banana cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of the cheesecake filling over the banana batter.
  6. Gently swirl the cheesecake filling into the banana batter with a knife.
Baking
  1. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  2. Remove from the oven and sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Let them melt for about 10 minutes, then spread the melted chocolate over the bar.
  3. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into squares.
