      Marble Banana Bread

      Beautiful Marble Banana Bread is moist, fluffy with natural sweetness baked in and chocolate flavors swirled throughout. I love the smell of delicious Banana Bread when baking in the oven. Capturing a nice ripe banana and turning into a lovely baked good is a simple but rewarding pleasure. My kids race to the kitchen in the morning to make sure they get at least one slice for a breakfast snack to start their day. My husband loves his with morning coffee or evening tea. This lovely Marble Banana Bread is simply delicious and everyone will enjoy it.

      Have Bananas growing a bit too rip to eat? If so, you should try this simple to follow recipe to have moist soft heavenly Marble Banana Bread at the ready for a snack, dessert or simple because you deserve it. Watch the video and follow the directions below to have this dish today. Like and share and don’t forget to follow for more recipes daily. I sometimes buy large bunches of bananas and I love to experiment and find new ways to make something new just to offer a change up to the homecoming menu. This is a budget friendly very delicious snack that you should try at least once to see for yourself just how delicious it really is.

      Please follow Facebook, Instagram,  Twitter , Pinterest, or subscribe to my YouTube channel.

      Preheat the oven to 350°F / 176°C. Lightly grease the loaf pan (9″x 5″) with softened butter & flour or coat with flour cooking spray. (optional: line the inside of the pan with parchment paper). Smash the ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher.

      Add brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract and mix.

      Add melted butter and mix.

      In a bowl: add flour, salt & baking soda while mixing everything together. (I highly recommend sifting the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients, this will make the batter fluffy and not lumpy). 

      Combine wet and dry ingredients together. Mix until well combined. 

      Divide the batter into 2 bowls. Add cocoa powder into one bowl and mix (highly recommend sifting before adding). 

      Use an ice cream scooper or ladle. Scoop plain batter and chocolate batter alternately into a checkerboard pattern into the pan.

      Use a toothpick or butter knife to make the swirls in the batter. 

      Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove from the oven and rest the bread in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring the loaf to a baking rack to finish cooling. 

      Slice

      Serve & enjoy!
