Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat your oven (or toaster oven) to 350°F (175°C).
Peel the banana and mash it thoroughly in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the banana and mix to combine.
Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just incorporated; don't overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few for sprinkling on top.
Lightly grease a small oven-safe skillet or ramekin (about 4-5 inches across).
Spread the batter evenly in the skillet and sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 14-16 minutes until golden at the edges and just set in the center (it should be gooey when warm).
Cool for 3-5 minutes, then enjoy straight from the skillet for maximum cozy vibes. Optional: top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of peanut butter.
