How to Make Banana Raisin Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup raisins.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The bread should be golden brown.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
