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!

DARK CHOCOLATE MARBLED BANANA BREAD WITH GREEK YOGURT
I created this recipe using my favorite parts of many different recipes. This bread isn't very sweet, so it's not for those who enjoy a sweeter bread. The chocolate throughout makes this a beautiful bread to entertain with.

MARBLED CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD
For a light, tender crumb, be careful not to overmix the batter after adding the flour. Once all of the ingredients are mixed together, put in oven right away. If it sits for too long, the soda will start to lose its leavening power--so work quickly when melting chocolate. Discovered this delight in Cooking Light (low-fat version).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° Combine eggs, milk, applesauce and oil in mixer. Beat well to combine. Add bananas, mixing to combine. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, whisking to ensure they have mixed well. Slowly add dry ingredients into the mixer with the wet ingredients. Scoop 1 cup of the batter into a small bowl and mix it with the melted chocolate chips. Mix until combined. Scoop the two batters into a greased loaf pan, alternating. Run a knife through the batter to create a marbled effect. Bake at 350° for 50-60mins, or until cooked through.
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your marbled chocolate banana bread. Opt for a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, being careful not to overwork the gluten in the flour.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling. Once the bread has cooled, slice it into thick slices and serve with a dollop of butter, cream cheese, or whipped cream.
- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature: Marbled chocolate banana bread can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Marbled chocolate banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.
