Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 45 minutes

Ingredients
 

  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 3/4 C. All-purpose flour (1/4 C. Reserved)
  • 1/4 C. Cocoa powder
  • 1/2 C. Maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 C. Sour cream
  • 1/2 C. Oil (such as avocado or canola oil)
  • 1/2 tsp. Baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp. Baking powder
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a mixing bowl, add 1 1/2 cups of flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add the bananas. Mash until smooth. Add in eggs, honey, sour cream, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir until just combined. Pour half of the batter into the empty bowl used to mix the dry ingredients. Add 1/4 cup cocoa powder and stir.
  • In the other bowl with the plain banana bread batter, add 1/4 cup flour. Stir until just combined.
  • Grease or line a pound loaf pan with parchment paper. Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, alternate adding the plain banana bread batter and chocolate batter to the loaf pan, creating a checkerboard pattern. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the two batters together.
  • Bake for 43-50 minutes or until the batter has set. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before enjoying!
