Chocolate Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 350ºF (176ºC).

Start by making the cream cheese swirl. Mix cream cheese and sugar together until there are no clumps. Whisk in egg, then fold in flour until smooth. Put into a piping bag and set aside.

Next, make the chocolate banana bread. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine oil and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Add mashed banana. Lastly, add flour mixture. Mix until there are no clumps remaining.

Pour into greased loaf pan (9×5). Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the chocolate banana batter. Swirl with a toothpick, or a knife.

Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. For best texture and to keep moist, cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
