Chocolate Swirl Quick Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 cup chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0. Spray a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, stir together the egg whites, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and stir in the buttermilk mixture until evenly moistened.
Scoop out 2/3 cup of the batter and transfer it to a medium bowl. Add the chocolate syrup and cinnamon and stir until combined.
Spoon the remaining batter into the loaf pan. Drop the chocolate batter onto the vanilla batter and, with a knife, swirl the chocolate batter through the vanilla batter.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the loaf in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto the rack to cool completely. Makes 10 slices.
