Personally I thought this was a waste of good raspberries. I love both banana bread & raspberries, but didn't feel they worked well together in this case. Also, be aware that if you use frozen berries the addition of the extra raspberry juice gives the bread an unappealing color. -
Marie, what can I say...I love banana bread and yours is yummy. I just loved the addition of the raspberries. This bread is moist, not overly sweet, flavourful and has a lovely texture. Best of all this excellant bread is very easy to make.
