Chocolate Marble Banana Bread

It’s time to take your banana bread to the next level with this super soft recipe swirled with chocolate.

This has to be one of the BEST Banana bread recipes I have ever made! This banana bread is incredibly moist, perfectly sweet and swirled with chocolate. It has a wonderful nutty toffee flavor from the browned butter and is super moist thanks to the sour cream! I also added in four bananas to keep the batter extra soft.

Why this bread is so soft & moist:

? Brown Sugar: In place of granulated sugar I used brown sugar to add extra moisture to the bread.

? Sour Cream: Adds a nice richness, tang and tons of moisture!

? Extra Bananas: Instead of 2 or 3 bananas I add in 4 mashed bananas. They add so much moisture to the batter and of course tons of banana flavor!

Serve warm with butter or Nutella for a superb breakfast treat.
