Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Decadent Banana Bread with Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Delight:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Mix Banana and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
3. Add Sugar and Egg: Mix in the granulated sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Raspberries and Chocolate: Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and Serve: Once cooled, slice the banana bread and enjoy!
