 Ingredients List

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda”¨
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt”¨
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar”¨
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature”¨

  • 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)”¨
  • 1/3 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

 Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.

3. In a separate large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture; just until moist. Don't over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chunks and then gently stir in the raspberries. If you want, you can sprinkle a few additional chocolate chunks and raspberries on the top to make it look pretty.

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on the wire rack.

Notes:
*This recipe turns out perfect for us, so here are the details: We bake at sea level in a greased pyrex pan and we bake on the middle rack in a gas oven.
*Don't use frozen raspberries or freshly washed raspberries (they will add too much moisture).
*If you bake in a dark metal pan or if you are baking at a different altitude or using an electric oven, you may possibly get different results.
*Oven temperatures can vary quite a bit, so if you have an oven thermometer that is helpful to see if yours is recording the right temperature.
*If the top is browning too quickly, cover the top with foil in the middle of baking to prevent it from browning further.
Hope those are all helpful tips- don't be afraid to try the recipe- it's so yummy!
