This decadent banana bread combines sweet ripe bananas with bursts of tart raspberries and rich dark chocolate. Moist and flavorful, it’s the perfect upgrade to a classic loaf — ideal for breakfast, snacking, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil or butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
  5. Fold in raspberries and dark chocolate, being careful not to overmix or crush the berries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with a few extra chocolate chips or raspberries if desired.
  7. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Toss chocolate chips in flour before adding to prevent sinking.
  • Frozen raspberries can be added straight from the freezer to reduce bleeding.
  • Recipe can be adapted into muffins (bake 20–25 mins at 350°F).
  • To make vegan, use flax eggs, plant-based oil or butter, and dairy-free chocolate.
