Chocolate Swirled Banana Bread

Seriously my favorite banana bread ever.

Chocolate Swirled Banana Bread
Adapted from Our Best Bites








2 c. flour
¾ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
¼ c. butter, softened
1 ½ c. mashed ripe bananas (about 3-4 medium bananas)
2 eggs
1/3 c. sour cream
½ c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In another mixing bowl, cream sugar and butter. Add bananas, eggs, and sour cream, beating until just blended. Add flour mixture. Beat on low until just moistened. Microwave chocolate chips in a medium bowl for 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Cool slightly. Add 1 c. batter to chocolate, stirring until well-combined. Spoon chocolate batter alternately with plain batter (so you have stripes of plain and chocolate batter) in an 8 ½” x 4 ½” loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Swirl batters with a knife.
Bake at 350 for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes (Mine was done in an hour, but the original recipe says 1 hour and 15 minutes) or until a cake tester comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan and then remove and cool completely on a wire rack (if you can really wait that long...)
