Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Prepare Chocolate Batter: In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder with milk until smooth. Take half of the banana batter and mix it with the chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Layer the Batter: Pour half of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then, add the chocolate batter on top, followed by the remaining banana batter. Use a knife to swirl the batters together for a marbled effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- 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!
