Raisin Banana Bread

Prep Time: 10 minutes        Cook Time: 65-70 minutes       Total Time: 75-80 minutes

Ingredients:

2 or 3 ripe bananas                        1 beaten egg or egg substitute

1/2 cup melted butter                  1  1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup sugar                                     1 teaspoon baking soda

1  1/2 cup all purpose flour        1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 – 1/3 cup raisins                       A dash of ground cinnamon

Non-stick cooking spray

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 and spray a 4×8-inch loaf pan with non-cook cooking spray.

2. While the oven is preheating, mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl with a fork (you can use your hands if you’re feeling feisty and have a desire to get sticky). Mash the bananas until they have a smooth consistency.

3. Once the bananas are smooth, add the melted butter into the bowl. Stir well.

4. Add the salt, baking soda, beaten egg, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon (however much you like), flour and raisins into the banana and butter mixture. Use however many raisins suit your taste. Also, it is easier to do this step one ingredient at a time to prevent making a huge mess. Stir all of the ingredients well.

5. Pour the mixture into the greased loaf pan.

6. Once the oven is preheated, place the loaf pan into the oven and let it bake for 65-70 minutes.

Hint: After about 65 minutes, you can test to see if the raisin banana bread is done by inserting a toothpick into the loaf. If it comes out without much bread goo on it, then your loaf is ready to remove from the oven. 

 7. As soon as your raisin banana bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool before serving.

8. Enjoy!
