Microwave the chocolate chips in a small bowl at high speed for 60 seconds. Beat it with a spoon till it forms a smooth mixture. Keep it aside.
Beat the oil and corn syrup together till it forms a smooth homogenous mixture. Add eggs one at a time and beat for 1-2 minutes. Add half of mashed bananas, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon and pumpkin spice powder. Process the mixer again

Add and fold in the chopped walnuts in the cake batter.
Add 1 cup of the cake batter into the chocolate mixture. Stir and mix well.
Add half of the chocolate batter into the loaf pan. Then add half of the cake batter on top of it. Again add the remaining chocolate batter and finally pour the remaining cake batter on top of it.
To create a swirl effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern. Bake the Marbled Chocolate Banana Bread in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
