HEALTHY MARBLED CHOCOLATE ZUCCHINI BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix together the mashed banana, pure maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, shredded zucchini. (We'll be adding the coconut oil later.)
• Slowly stir in the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until smooth, then stir in the melted and cooled coconut oil.
• Divide batter in half; adding half of the batter to a seperate medium bowl. Stir in the cocoa powder, almond milk and ¼ cup chocolate chips into one of the batters, mixing until just combined.
• Spoon half of the regular batter into prepared loaf pan, then top with half of the chocolate batter. Repeat with remaining regular batter and chocolate batter. Swirl the batters together with a knife just a few times (do not overdo this or the batters will start to come together and look crazy). Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a tester comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.
• Cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and place on the wire rack to cool completely.

• Preheat oven to 350. In one bowl, mix the eggs, cooking oil, mashed banana, vanilla, zucchini, and sugar. Let it set until the sugar has partly dissolved (about 15 minutes). Mix in melted chocolate (chocolate will not dissolve completely, giving the bread a slightly marbled look).
• In another bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and nuts.
• Sift the dry ingredients slowly into the wet ingredients. Stir until just mixed and pour into loaf pans coated in baking spray. Bake for approximately one hour. Makes two loaves.
