    Let’s Make Healthy Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread

    Making this banana bread is actually quite simple, it’s just like your classic banana bread. I like to go ahead and start to melt the chocolate chips while I make the bread batter (I like to live life on the edge). My go-to method of melting chocolate is with a makeshift double boiler. Heat a pot of water over low heat until it starts to simmer. Then, place a larger pot or skillet on top with the chocolate chips. Stir occasionally as the chocolate chips begin to melt. I find this to be the best way to melt chocolate as you’re using indirect heat which is what prevents burning (something I’ve come to know all too well this past year).

    So, while the chocolate is melting, make your banana bread batter. Spoon about a cup of the batter into a separate bowl and fold in the chocolate chips once they’re melted and have cooled for a bit. Line your loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil then alternate with the classic banana, then the chocolate, then finish off the classic batter, and top it all off with the rest of the chocolate. For the finishing touches, take a small knife or toothpick and draw a couple of large S’s in the batter to crease a swirl shape. Don’t go too crazy here, a little goes a long way!

    Description

    Chocolate marbled banana bread — the classic banana bread with an elevated twist.  It’s the soft, fluffy, delicious banana bread you know and love with silky ribbons of dark chocolate laced throughout.  Sweetened only with bananas and made gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • ½ cup chocolate chips

    • 1 ½ cups almond flour

    • ½ cup coconut flour

    • 1 tsp baking powder

    • ½ tsp baking soda

    • ¼ tsp sea salt

    • 3 overripe medium bananas

    • 3 eggs

    • 1 tsp vanilla

    • ¼ cup coconut oil

    • ½ cup almond milk


    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 F
    2. Melt the chocolate chips in a skillet over low heat or use the double boiler method (place chocolate chips in a small pot and position on top of a larger pot of simmering water. Stir continuously until melted). Set aside to cool

    3. In a bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt and set aside

    4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the bananas, eggs, vanilla, coconut oil, and almond milk (you can use a hand-mixer here as well)

    5. Slowly fold in the flour mixture into the bowl with the eggs and stir until no flour clumps remain

    6. Spoon out 1 cup of the batter into a separate bowl and stir in the melted chocolate

    7. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil

    8. Pour about half of the non-chocolate batter into the pan. Then spread the chocolate batter on top, leaving about 3 tablespoon in the bowl. Pour in remaining non-chocolate batter then place 3 dollops of the chocolate batter on top

    9. With a knife, draw 3 large S’s in the batter to create a swirl (a little goes a long way here, don’t get too crazy)

    10. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes until you can insert a toothpick into the middle and it comes out clean

    11. Store in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week or up to 10 days in the fridge

      Was very excited to make this. Unfortunately very disappointed with the end result. Tastes wonderful - banana bread has a delicate flavor with chocolate portion being a rich chocolate. Need to swirl more as mine didn't incorporate much at all 🙁 Most disappointing part is how wet the end result is. Despite the flavor being yummy I'll be throwing it out. Its wet consistency is very off putting. What a waste.
