I can’t wait to share this Chocolate Banana Swirl Bread recipe with you today! A friend gave this recipe to me almost a decade ago, and I just LOVE it. I believe it was originally from Cooking Light, but I have tweaked it over the years to make it a bit fattier and even more tasty! Heehee. 😉
The recipe is a very straightforward process, other than the chocolate swirl step. In a nutshell, you melt the chocolate, mix it with 1 cup of the batter, and then spoon it into the greased bread pan and swirl, as shown below.
You can find the full recipe for this chocolate banana swirl bread below, and you can even print it! ENJOY!!

Is it bread flour?
Nope. Regular, all-purpose flour!
Chocolate and banana always go great together and why not in a bread. Thanks for sharing with Fiesta Friday.
