Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan to prevent sticking. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, mix the hot water and cocoa powder until you get a smooth chocolatey mixture.

Step 2
Next, in another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Give everything a good stir until well blended, then gently fold in the flour mixture until just combined.

Step 3
Take half of the banana batter and mix it into the chocolate mixture until it’s evenly combined. Now, spoon dollops of the banana batter and the chocolate batter alternately into the loaf pan. Use a knife or skewer to swirl them together a bit for that marbled effect.

Step 4
Pop the pan into the oven and bake for about 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool a bit before slicing and enjoy!
