It's Banana Time: Marbled Banana Bread (vegan)

Ever wonder what you should do with those 2-3 bananas that no one is eating?

Make a sundae? pancakes? muffins? bananas foster? BANANA BREAD?

Yes, banana bread is the answer. Those other choices are good too, but banana bread always satisfies and you can enjoy it day after day. If for some strange reason you can use it to make french toast (omg) or bread pudding.  I had 2 overripe bananas lying around , so I decided to make a banana bread with a twist. Bananas and chocolate are best friends, so why not put them together for one fabulous quick bread? This recipe is vegan, so it has no eggs. Not to worry, this recipe is still moist and delicious. Not to mention, the banana chocolate batter is VERY ADDICITING. Ok, that's your warning.Enjoy this wonderful bread for breakfast, snack, or dessert with ice cream. YUMMO.
