Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread

Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread

This jam-packed loaf of chocolate chip marbled banana bread is calling your name. I hope you have some ripe bananas ready because you might just want to make it right away. P.S. I’m totally eating a slice right now while I write this post and OMG… it’s so good.

Banana Bread Batter

You just need to whip up two separate batters using flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, bananas, butter, eggs, sour cream and vanilla.

And then just mix a bunch of chocolate chip morsels into each batter.

Swirled Banana Bread Batter

Layer small spoonfuls of both batters in a 9 X 5 inch loaf pan and then gently make a couple of swirls in the batter with a knife. Don’t over mix it though.

Before it bakes, sprinkle more morsels on top.
