Marbled Chocolate Banana Bread

Marbled chocolate banana bread is a fun and delicious way to enjoy bananas in cake!

I actually love it when my kids don’t eat all the bananas I have bought, as it gives me the chance to make banana bread!

Ripe bananas

This warm weather we’ve been having made the latest bananas reach optimum ripeness for banana bread really quickly.

However, if you don’t have ripe bananas but have a craving for banana bread, you can bake whole bananas in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes and this will ripen them nicely for you.

I saw a marble banana bread on Pinterest recently and wanted to try it out myself. I do love a swirl or marble effect in cakes!

I found the recipe for this on goodtoknow.co.uk. Find it over here.

I followed the recipe as it was this time. If I make it again I would add more cinnamon as the flavour was a little too subtle.

Before baking and it looks great, and tastes good already. Marbled the mixtures together using a knife.

The real test, the pretty chocolate swirls on the inside of the Banana Bread. Gorgeous!
