Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 60 milliliters milk
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 50 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the melted butter and mix well.
Stir in the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Divide the batter into two equal portions. In one portion, fold in the cocoa powder and chocolate chips until combined.
In the prepared loaf pan, alternate spoonfuls of the vanilla batter and chocolate batter to create a marbled effect. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together, being careful not to overmix.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
