Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread gets 5 * * * * * stars in my book. I followed the recipe except used regular yogurt did not have any Greek yogurt. Also, as a experiment added chocolate chips to the top center of the loaf (which had a tiny indentation) as soon as I removed the loaf from the oven. - 19 May 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This was delicious! I replaced 1/2 the butter for an applesauce container, to save on some fat, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. This is definitely not a sweet bread, but it is very moist and dense, with a great banana flavor. My bread was done in about 45 min (I baked it in a stone loaf pan). - 23 Feb 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Great cake! Made 1.5x the recipe and baked in a 9x13”pan for 40 min. Added 1 tbsp white sugar to cocoa and water. Used 2 tsp of vanilla and split it between the cocoa mix and the liquids. Not a sweet cake which was wonderful! - 27 Jan 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
