A bit of a twist on the traditional banana bread with marbled cacao! Yum

You can definitely skip the cacao and use the recipe to make traditional cinnamon-spiced banana bread, but I’m a chocoholic and love the additional cacao effect!

Adaptions

If you’re gluten free you can use gluten free flour. The rice malt syrup can be swapped for any other liquid sweetener like honey or maple syrup

Meal Prep

The loaf freezes really well, so you can make it in bulk for a quick and easy snack another day
