  2. Beat in eggs and milk.
  3. Beat in mashed banana.

  5. Separate into 2 bowls and add sifted cocoa to one. Fold in until just combined.
  6. Alternate spoonfuls of the 2 mixtures into 2 lined loaf tins.
  7. Swirl with a skewer to create a marbled effect. Don’t swirl too much or you’re just mixing it.

4 mashed bananas
Mix, mix!
Not the prettiest marble, but tastes darned good!
When one loaf looks beautiful and marbled while the other looks… partially mixed . I had to remove some of the mix from the marbled one as it was almost overflowing, which made the second loaf super duper marbled.
