BEST-EVER CHOCOLATE SWIRL BANANA BREAD
Few things are as comforting as a warm, freshly baked slice of banana bread, a buttery, banana-y, toasty pecan loaf of goodness! Banana bread is a quick bread, which basically means it doesn't require any fermentation (rise) like a yeasted bread. We're adding a chocolate swirl to this traditional quick bread because . . . chocolate! Be sure to use overripe bananas, the darker the skin the better, to ensure maximum sweetness.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Butter the sides of a 9-by-5-inch (23-by-12.5-centimeter) loaf pan and set it aside.
- Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Roast them in the oven for 10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly toasted. Allow the pecans to cool, then chop them and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder. cinnamon, nutmeg and salt until well combined.
- Place the bananas in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix for about a minute to smash the bananas thoroughly, then add the melted butter and mix until incorporated.
- Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Finally, add the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix the batter, which can make the crumb tough and result in large "worm" holes. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the pecans and sour cream until just incorporated.
- Melt the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water or a double boiler. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup (235 milliliters) of the batter with the chocolate until well combined.
- Pour one-third of the banana batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop two large spoonfuls of the chocolate batter side by side in the center of the batter. Cover this with another third of the banana batter followed by the remaining chocolate batter. Cover this with the last third of the banana batter. Using a knife, swirl the two batters through the loaf pan a few times, without overmixing.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean (okay, there may be a crumb. Or two). Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling, and you're done! Boom. Banana chocolate deliciousness.

DARK CHOCOLATE MARBLED BANANA BREAD WITH GREEK YOGURT
I created this recipe using my favorite parts of many different recipes. This bread isn't very sweet, so it's not for those who enjoy a sweeter bread. The chocolate throughout makes this a beautiful bread to entertain with.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
- Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.
- Enjoy!
