Who can resist the swirls of chocolate in this Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread recipe! Got a comfort food craving? This recipe for Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread is one that our family has used for years. We’ve tried others, but they just don’t stack up to this moist, tender loaf, even with the addition of some “healthier” ingredients, like whole wheat flour and plain yogurt. Of course, that irresistible chocolate-banana combo certainly doesn’t hurt, either!

Ingredients

Turbinado sugar for topping (optional)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 plain yogurt or sour cream
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas (about 3 bananas)
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. baking soda
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

Method

01

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease loaf pan and set aside. In a small bowl, combine flours, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until combined. Set aside.
02

Place granulated and brown sugars and butter in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Add bananas, eggs, yogurt or sour cream and vanilla to the bowl and mix together for another 30 seconds. Gently add flour mixture to banana mixture and stir together until just combined.
03

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
04

Add one cup of banana bread batter to the cooled chocolate and stir until thoroughly mixed.
05

Alternately spoon chocolate batter with plain banana batter in loaf pan. Gently swirl batters together using a knife. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired.
06

Bake for 50-60 minutes or until toothpick poked in center of loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove from pan. Continue cooling bread on wire rack.
