MARBLE CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD

Category: Bread

2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup softened butter
1 1/2 cups well mashed ripe banana (about 2 1/2 bananas)
2 eggs
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Cooking spray for baking pan

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cups, and level with knife. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.

Place sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 60 seconds). Add banana, eggs, and yogurt and beat until blended. Add flour mixture and beat at low speed or just until moist.

Place chocolate chips in a medium microwave-safe bowl, and microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until almost melted, stirring until smooth. Cool slightly. Add 1 cup batter to chocolate, stirring until well combined. Spoon chocolate batter alternately with plain batter into an loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Swirl batters together using a knife.

Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack and then remove from pan. Cool on wire rack.
