Tasty, quick, and very moist! (From Post Punk Kitchen)

Ingredients:

• 1 c mashed banana
• 3/4 c raw sugar
• 1 t pure vanilla extract
• 2 T canola oil
• 1/3 c almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
• 1 1/2 c all purpose flour
• 3/4 t baking soda
• 3/4 t salt
• 3 T unsweetened cocoa powder
• 6 T boiling water, divided

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
2. Mash the banana in large mixing bowl until relatively smooth, should take about 3 average
3. sized bananas.
4. Beat in the sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla.
5. Now add the flour, baking soda and salt and gently mix just to incorporate, don’t over-mix.
6. Scoop one cup of the batter and transfer it to separate mixing bowl.
7. In a small bowl or mug mix the cocoa powder with 3 tablespoons boiling water and stir vigorously with a fork until the chocolate is dissolved.
8. Add this chocolate mixture to the one cup of banana and mix until the chocolate is thoroughly smooth and incorporated.
9. To original banana batter, add 3 tablespoons of boiling water and mix until relatively smooth.
10. Lightly grease an 8×4 loaf pan, scoop alternate 1/2 cupfuls of chocolate/banana batter into the loaf pan. Don’t worry about being precise, the more random, the better. Once all the batter is in the pan, take a butter knife and swirl it through the batter in zigzag directions.
11. Bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into bread comes out clean.
12. Cool completely before slicing.
