Black & White Banana Bread
Ingredients
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
- 5 and 1/2 tablespoons (75g) melted unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cup (200g) all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons (30g) cocoa powder
- 3 oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350° F. Line a loaf pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray (or brush with melted butter).
Gently mix together the mashed bananas, sugar, melted butter, egg, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract and flour.
Remove a half cup of batter and add to a separate bowl. Mix in the cocoa powder and chopped chocolate.
Pour half of the first (non-chocolate) mixture into the loaf pan. Then pour all of the chocolate mixture on top. Gently bang the loaf pan on the counter to help disperse the better. Add the rest of the non-chocolate mixture on top.
Bake 50-60 mins, or until puffed and deeply golden brown on top. It should spring back when gently pressed in the middle.
