Description

Dark chocolate creates a beautiful marbled effect in this moist banana bread made with Greek yogurt and less sugar than most quick breads.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons hot water
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2 large overripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan.
2 Whisk flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
3 Whisk hot water and cocoa powder in a large bowl until smooth.
4 Combine mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in another large bowl; mix well. Fold in flour mixture until thoroughly combined.
5 Mix half of the banana mixture into the cocoa mixture until well combined.
6 Spoon banana mixture and cocoa mixture into the prepared pan, alternating between the two.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes.
