Marbled Chocolate Banana Bread

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 oz semi sweet chocolate
  • 3 tsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix butter and sugar until blended and fluffy, approx. 3 minutes on low-medium mixing speed.
  • Mix in one egg at a time. Add mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and yogurt. Mix until blended.
  • Add all dry ingredients into the banana mixture (except for chocolate and cocoa powder), mix until fully combined.
  • In a separate microwaveable bowl, melt the semi sweet chocolate and mix in cocoa powder. Add 1 cup of the banana mixture into this chocolate mixture and mix until the chocolate batter is smooth and silky.
  • In a greased loaf pan, fill the pan alternating between the two batters. A loaf pan can have two side by side rows of 4-5 Tbsp scoops per row for the first layer, and the same for the second layer. Does not have to be perfect, alternating is key.
  • Use a knife and run through the batter in the loaf pan, crisscrossing to semi mix the two mixtures to form the marbled look. Around 4 times and do not over mix.
  • Bake at 350 F for 1 hour or until tester in the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
