Ingredients

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the baking soda and salt, then add the flour and cocoa powder. Mix until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips.
4. Layer the Batter: Pour half of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then, add half of the brownie batter on top. Repeat with the remaining banana batter and brownie batter, swirling with a knife to create a marbled effect.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
