Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Butter Melted
  • 1 Cup White Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup Toasted Coconut Pop the coconut in the oven beforehand at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes just until it starts to brown
  • 2 Bananas Sliced
  • 4 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
    2. Reserve 3 Tablespoons of Coconut and set to the side. Place the remaining coconut on a sheet pan and toast for 5-10 minutes.
    3. In a large bowl or mixer, mix together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, add vanilla. Add the Flour, baking soda, and salt and mix together until well combined. Add the sour cream and bananas. Add toasted coconut to the batter and fold in. 
    4. Melt the 4 oz of chocolate in the microwaves in 10 second intervals. 
    5. Scoop out about 1/3 of the banana bread batter into the melted chocolate. Mix until well combined.
    6. Pour in the regular banana bread batter into the 9x5 pan, then scoop about 1/4 cup of chocolate batter onto each end of the pan. Then a layer of the regular batter and again 2 scoops of the chocolate repeating until both batters are in the pan. Take a knife and make a swirling motion in order to get the bread a marbled effect. 4 or 5 times up and back should be plenty, overdoing it might mix the batters too much. 
    7. Top the bread with the remaining coconut you set aside earlier, making sure to push the coconut into the batter, otherwise it will burn when its cooking. 
    8. Bake for 60 or until toothpick comes out clean.
