Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large bowl, mix the mashed bananas, melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
In a small bowl, mix the cocoa powder and hot water until smooth. Add this chocolate mixture to half of the banana bread batter and stir until fully incorporated.
-
Alternate spoonfuls of the plain banana bread batter and the chocolate batter into the prepared loaf pan. Use a knife to swirl the batters together gently, creating a marbled effect.
-
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the batter for an extra decadent touch.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice the Black Bottom Banana Bread into thick pieces and enjoy warm with a cup of coffee or tea.
