The texture of this bread is fantastic! It stands up well to toasting and makes some wonderful French toast. I definitely recommend doubling this recipe. It is easily frozen too.
Banana Raisin Bread
- 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup (2 medium) mashed ripe bananas
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins
1. Cream the butter and sugar together for 5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, mix well. Add bananas and milk, mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture. Stir in the raisins.
3. Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for 55 to 60 minutes.
You always amaze me with all of your recipes! I love banana bread but haven’t tried it yet with raisins. I’m sure it will be a nice change.

Hi! I have just recently discovered your blog, and I am really enjoying it.
I have discovered I have a little collection of banana bread recipes, so this one will be added to it. I don’t think I’ve seen raisins in banana bread before, but it seems like a natural.

oh i love to eat bananas raw. i also love foods and recipes with banana in it. they taste very very good
I made this for Thanksgiving with a small change-I substituted chocolate chips for raisins since I don’t really like raisins. It was so good, and I’m planning to make a double batch tomorrow to have some in the freezer. THanks!
