Steps:
- Prepare boiling water, no need to measure yet. Also, preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mash the banana in a large mixing bowl until relatively smooth. It should take 3 average sized ones, but spoon the mashed 'nanas into a measuring cup to make sure, then return to the mixing bowl. Beat in the sugar, canola oil, milk and vanilla.
- Now add the flour, baking soda and salt and gently mix just to incorporate. It's okay if there is some flour still visible, just be careful not to overmix at this point.
- Scoop one cup of the batter up and transfer it to a separate mixing bowl. Now, in a small tea cup mix the cocoa powder with 3 tablespoons boiling water and stir vigorously with a fork until the chocolate is dissolved. Add this chocolate mixture to the one cup of banana and mix until the chocolate is thoroughly smooth and incorporated.
- Now back to the original plain banana batter; add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and mix the batter just until relatively smooth. (Unless your batter is already moist enough, then skip the extra water.).
- Here comes the fun part, it's time to marble! Lightly grease an 8×4 loaf pan. Scoop alternate 1/2 cupfuls of chocolate/banana batter into the loaf pan. Nothing has to be precise here, in fact, the more random, the better. Once all of the batter is in, take a butter knife and swirl it through the batter in circular directions for about 10 seconds.
- Bake for 55 minutes. Use a butter knife to test for doneness. Let cool and enjoy!

DARK CHOCOLATE MARBLED BANANA BREAD WITH GREEK YOGURT
I created this recipe using my favorite parts of many different recipes. This bread isn't very sweet, so it's not for those who enjoy a sweeter bread. The chocolate throughout makes this a beautiful bread to entertain with.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD
For a light, tender crumb, be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the flour. Once all of the ingredients are mixed together, put in oven right away. If it sits for too long, the soda will start to lose its leavening power--so work quickly when melting chocolate. Discovered this delight in Cooking Light (low-fat version).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° Combine eggs, milk, applesauce and oil in mixer. Beat well to combine. Add bananas, mixing to combine. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, whisking to ensure they have mixed well. Slowly add dry ingredients into the mixer with the wet ingredients. Scoop 1 cup of the batter into a small bowl and mix it with the melted chocolate chips. Mix until combined. Scoop the two batters into a greased loaf pan, alternating. Run a knife through the batter to create a marbled effect. Bake at 350° for 50-60mins, or until cooked through.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can even use overripe bananas with brown spots for an extra burst of flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a loaf pan with a dark or non-stick finish: This will help the banana bread bake evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Preheat your oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking the banana bread. This will help ensure that it bakes evenly.
- Do not overbake the banana bread: Overbaking the banana bread will make it dry and crumbly. Check the bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
Conclusion:
Chocolate marbled banana bread is an easy and delicious treat to enjoy for breakfast, lunch, or snack. With its moist and flavorful banana bread base and rich chocolate marbling, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try.
