Ingredients

• 3 large Ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 5 drops Food coloring (pink or blue)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and stir to combine.

Step 4

Mix in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Spoon out about 1 cup of the batter into a small bowl and add your chosen food coloring (pink for a girl, blue for a boy). Mix until the color is evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour half of the uncolored batter into the prepared loaf pan. Then, add the colored batter in the center, creating a line of color. Finish with the remainder of the uncolored batter, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

Use a butter knife to gently swirl the colored batter a bit, ensuring the color stays in the center while creating a marble effect.

Step 10

Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 12

Cut into the loaf to reveal the pink or blue surprise and share the joy!
