Do you have any overripe bananas hanging around the house? We usually do, so I like to make Banana Bread using our favorite Banana Bread Recipe. But sometimes, I like to change things up and try something new. My friend Kristi shared her mom’s Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread Recipe with me and told me I could share it with you. I think you are going to enjoy it as much as my family did! We will be adding this recipe to our family cookbook!
Banana bread is tasty…add in some marbled chocolate and you have yourself a pretty and tasty crowd pleaser. Due to the prettiness of the bread, this bread would be fun to serve to your guests for an upcoming shower or party!
