Raspberry Dark Chocolate Banana Bread

A warm, moist loaf combining ripe bananas, tart raspberries, and rich dark chocolate chunks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1½ cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)
  • ⅓ cup plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
  • 1 cup halved raspberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl, whisking together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream together the room temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in the mashed bananas until well combined.
  5. Combine the yogurt and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture is smooth.
  6. Mix in the dry ingredients gradually, stirring until just combined.
  7. Fold in the dark chocolate chunks and the raspberries.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Cool the bread in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Serve warm with butter or enjoy plain. For indulgence, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
