Cinnamon Raisin Banana Bread
The junior member of the clan has of late developed a taste for cinnamon raisin bread, to the detriment of his bananas for breakfast. So with a whole lot of bananas about to go south, I figured I would make banana bread, but then got to thinking, why not add the cinnamon and raisins?
Ingredients for Cinnamon Raisin Banana Bread
- 3- 4 Overripe bananas
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1- 1½ cups loosely packed raisins
- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
- 1½ Tbs cinnamon
Directions for Cinnamon Raisin Banana Bread
Preheat oven to 350º,
Lightly grease a loaf pan,
In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt,
In a separate bowl whisk together the cinnamon and granulated sugar.
In a mixer on low speed cream the butter and sugar. When well blended add the bananas and mix until they are fully mashed and incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, adding after each is fully combined.
With the mixer on low add the flour, baking powder and salt. and continue to mix until all the ingredients are gully combined.
With the mixer still on low add the raisins. Once combined remove the mixer bowl scraping down the sides.
Add about ½ the cinnamon sugar mixture and with a spatula whirl it into the batter, once mixed in, add the remaining cinnamon and whirl that into the mixture.
Pour into the lightly greased loaf pan and bake in the center of the oven for 60 – 80 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the oaf comes out clean.
Place on to a wire rack and allow to cool for about 5 minutes then remove from the pan by inverting onto a wire rack, once removed from the pan turn the bread right side up.
Here are a few items to help make this recipe:
Bananas, raisins, cinnamon in bread? I would rather have it plain with a little sliced chicken inside, not a S.A.P.P. dish but I did like the melted butter, so only 3 paws and skip the fruits and bring on the meats!
