Marbled-Chocolate Banana Bread
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
3â„4 teaspoon baking soda
1â„2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1â„4 cup butter, softened
1 1â„2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
1â„2 cup egg substitute
1/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Directions
Preheat oven to 350.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a 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 1 minute). Add banana, egg substitute, and yogurt; beat until blended. Add flour mixture; beat at low speed 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 8 1â„2 x 4 1â„2 inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Swirl batters together using a knife. Bake at 350 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; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

Notes:
Cooking Light suggested toasting this and topping with a spoonful of peanut butter for breakfast. Mom’s banana bread recipe is still my favorite; I just thought this was a possible change now and then.
