I had a few extra bananas that I wanted to use up. I saw this recipe and thought I’d try it.

I’m glad I did! The bread is dense, soft and has a lovely banana flavor. I really liked this recipe and I’ll be making banana raisin bread again.

Interesting Raisin Fact

Okay, we all know that raisins are dried grapes.  But do you know just how nutritious raisins are?

Raisins contain a fair amount of sugar in the form of fructose and glucose. They also contain protein, dietary fiber as well as antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin B2 and vitamin B2. 

Raisins are low in sodium and contain no cholesterol.

Banana Oat Bread

Banana Oat Bread

Can’t get enough of bananas?  Then check out the recipe for banana oat bread. 

This is a hearty breakfast bread that will hold you until lunch. It’s also a great way to use overripe bananas. You’ll love the combination of white flour, whole wheat flour, oats, bananas, and raisins.

Making Banana Raisin Bread

This makes a two-pound loaf of bread. I used the basic setting with a medium crust.

Follow the instructions that came with your bread machine in terms of which ingredients to put in the machine first. 

Typically, you’d add the raisins at the add beep. However, I’ve found that the raisins are distributed more evenly throughout the loaf if I add them at the beginning.

Raisin Banana Bread

Here are all the ingredients in the bread pan.

Make sure you check on the dough after five or ten minutes of kneading. This is especially important with this recipe because of the mashed bananas.

Just pop the top of the bread machine and see how the dough is doing.  It should be a smooth, round ball.  I had to add two tablespoons of flour to the pan as the dough didn’t look right when I checked.
