CHOCOLATE MARBLED BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×5- inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Cut parchment paper into a strip so that it fits in the bottom of the pan and up sides. Coat again with nonstick spray and set aside.
• : In a bowl whisk together 3/4 cup all purpose flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Set aside.
• : In a bowl whisk together the remaining 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Set this aside as well.
• In another bowl mix together the melted butter, sour cream, mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla extract. Divide this mixture in half between the chocolate and regular banana bread dry ingredients. (It will be approximately 1 2/3 cups of the mixture in each) and stir to incorporate.
• Stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips into each mixture.
• Drop spoonfuls of each batter into the prepared pan, alternating as you add. Once all the batter is added, use a butter knife to gently swirl the batters together. Don't over-swirl.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup of chocolate chips on top and bake for 50 - 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before using the parchment paper to lift the bread from the pan and transfer to a cooling rack.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD (VEGAN)

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!
