Eggless Banana-Choco chip Squares

There was a time when over ripe bananas were used only to make Buns and then these muffins but these days when bananas get over ripe,I am lost for choice.There are so many yummy recipes using bananas and I feel I should try them all.Since it is Navrathri,I wanted to try out an eggless recipe from my over crowded bookmarked folder.Aparna's Eggless Banana Choco chip squares seemed like the perfect choice.
