Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs (slightly beaten)
  • 2 1/2 cups ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1.2 ounces freeze dried raspberries (Trader Joe's recommended)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt).
  • In a separate bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in beaten eggs, mashed banana, and vanilla.
  • Combine this liquid mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring just enough to mix. Fold in freeze dried raspberries.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Transfer pan to a cooling rack and when bread is cool enough to handle, remove from pan and allow to finish cooling on wire rack.
  • Slice and serve. Tightly wrap an extra raspberry banana bread to keep fresh. Once entirely cooled, bread freezes well if wrapped tightly.
