Extra Banana Marbled Cocoa Banana Bread

I made a healthy banana bread with no added sugar and the flavor punch of 6 bananas. The recipe comes from Amandeleine. I changed the butter to canola oil and then marbled it with some cocoa powder.

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup canola oil
2 eggs, beaten
6 mashed medium overripe banana
1 teaspoon vanilla

2 tablespoons cocoa
2 tablespoons boiling water

Method:

Preheat oven to 375.
Spray one loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans lik I did, set aside.
Mix all dry ingredients in one bowl, set aside.
Mix all wet ingredients in another bowl, set aside.
Boil water and mix with cocoa powder until combined into a paste.
Mix flour into banana mixture and stop mixing before it is totally combined.
Pour about half of the mixture into another bowl and mix the cocoa paste into it, try not to over-mix it.
Finish mixing the un-cocoaed batter until combined.
Pour half of each batter into separate ends of the loaf pan and then drag a butter knife back and forth in the middle to get a marbled effect.
Bake for about 25 mins for mini loaf pans and 45 mins to an hour for the single large loaf pan.
