Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
Mix the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and light brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined. Stir in the mashed bananas and Greek yogurt or sour cream until the mixture is well blended.
Add Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
Fold in Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before cutting them into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
