Dark Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread with Greek Yogurt

Turned out great! I didn’t focus too hard on the swirl so it’s pretty half and half but it turned out just as soft and delicious as expected!

This is in now my favorite banana bread recipe. So moist, chocolatey and full of banana flavor too. We have food allergies so I was able to make it dairy free by substituting fake “buttermilk” and vegan butter. The other flavors covered that lingering soy flavor I sometimes get with dairy free baked goods!

Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread gets 5 * * * * * stars in my book. I followed the recipe except used regular yogurt did not have any Greek yogurt. Also, as a experiment added chocolate chips to the top center of the loaf (which had a tiny indentation) as soon as I removed the loaf from the oven.

This was delicious! I replaced 1/2 the butter for an applesauce container, to save on some fat, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. This is definitely not a sweet bread, but it is very moist and dense, with a great banana flavor. My bread was done in about 45 min (I baked it in a stone loaf pan).

Scrumptious! I didn't change the recipe at all, but I did add some chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips to the batter. Yummy!

YUM!! I've been using AllRecipes for over 15 years but this is the first review I've ever written. It seemed appropriate that it's also the first review for this recipe. I did make a few changes, based on what I had. (1) used sour cream (no Greek Yogurt) (2) added 1 tbsp sugar to cocoa/water mix (4) used 1 tsp vanilla, since that seems typical in baking recipes, thought the 1 tbsp. might have been typo. The flavors are more subtle/mild than most recipes. The banana and chocolate are not overpowering, which I prefer because this bread goes great with hot cocoa, hot tea, coffee or a glass of milk, without having strong competing flavors. As the poster mentions, it is not real sweet. So if you want a bold, sweet flavor, this may not be what you're looking for. But if you want a simple, wonderful complement to a relaxing cup of tea, this is perfect! I also really liked the texture; some recipes are too moist-they can be too dense, almost doughy; others can be dry; this is moist without being overly heavy. Thank you Chef V for sharing!
