Tips and Tricks
- Use very ripe bananas; this is crucial for having a naturally sweet bread without the need of added sugar
- Use room temperature eggs. Leave them out of the fridge 30 minutes prior to using; If pressed on time, allow eggs to sit -completely covered- in warm (no hot) water for 5 minutes
- If you can’t get your hands on some coffee -or don’t want to use any- substitute the coffee for warm water instead, although I would encourage you to use it! the coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and helps deepen its flavor
- You can skip the banana on top altogether! the marble looks beautiful by itself
