A slice of Banana Raisin Bread in the morning or at snack time is lovely and not having the extra calories to worry about is always a big plus. I prepared the Banana Raisin Bread in just 15 minutes while my little one watched from his high chair and after baking it for 50 minutes it was ready. The banana bread was moist and delicious and we all loved it

Welcome Tammy 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Looks Yummy.
Note to self: Must buy some bananas. Thanks for sharing this recipe's result and the pictures! I'm glad that your banana raisin bread turned out well!
Thanks for sharing! Reminds me I have a breadmaker I should start using!
That looks like a tasty recipe, tho i'm not a big fan of using artificial sweeteners. Especially for things my daughter would eat.
You can always substitute with honey or brown sugar 🙂
Awesome Recipe.
I made it the other day for my family and they loved it.
I also really like this simple banana bread recipe.

That looks so good! My favourite way to eat banana bread is to toast it for breakfast.

Lovely photos, I can taste it through the blog post! Yum!
These look so yummy. I think it would be wonderful to toast with a little butter. Yum!!! I have never thought of adding raisins though. Our typical add in is walnuts. Thank you

Love it!
My daughter and I will definitely be making this tomorrow!!! Looks so delicious
I really like your recipe, especailly the idea of substituting with Equal as my sugar is borderline so I have to be more careful these days…don’t want to have to use medication. I will make the Banana Bread for sure…thank you!
Enjoy! It is so yummy!
Hi Angela, just stopped by to tell you that your recipe is a huge hit in our house. I make this Banana Raisin Bread, 2 loaves, every second weekend and they are gone in no time..thanks again for this recipe!!

Yummy. Will definitely try this for my baby.
This looks like a very tasty recipe. I would not have thought to use Equal. I also like the idea of raisins in the bread.
Oh my this sounds good. I never in a million years would of thought of using Special K cereal in a banana bread recipe. I have got to try this recipe, not only is it easy it is also healthy. 🙂
That looks Delish!!! We have the same bowls and plates!!
I have never made this but want to try it. Have bought it in astore and loved it. Homemadeis likely 100x better
Wow that looks so good (seriously). I have two very ripe bananas I was going to make waffles with and freeze, but I think this will be better 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
OMG Angela! Thank you again for this recipe! I never thought of using raisins in a banana bread and this sounded awesome, so I went ahead and made it last night with those two super ripe bananas I had and it was by far the BEST banana bread I ever had. My husband who only likes his mom’s banana bread said this was the best one he’s had ever, so, yay! I’m super happy with how it came out.. even our 17 month old picky toddler loved it <3
I did add molasses to it and that was the only change I made. Yum!
Yay! That’s awesome! So happy they loved it!
Now I have a craving for Banana Raisin Bread 🙂
Mmmm…this sounds yummy!! Thank you, this is perfect, I’m diabetic.
Can’t wait to make this!! Looks sooo good!
i wish i would be able to make this i have to have a gf do it for me
This is a great one for school snacks! I am going to try this one this week! I will let you know if my picky eater approves! LOL (Fingers crossed!!!!!)
Yes, good luck 🙂
Thanks so much for the great recipe 🙂 I’ve never thought to make it with raisins before 🙂
I usually try to cut most of the sugar out of banana bread by using really ripe bananas, applesauce instead of oil and maybe some agave (because you only have to use a little bit for the sweetness). I find it’s a good alternative to sweeteners.
Cold winter’s day – been searching for a good Banana bread recipe – this looks terribly moist. Having a problem with my current recipe, loaf tends to be heavy. Thanks for the recipe post.
Sounds yummy!
This looks delicious! My little one can be a picky eater sometimes, but I’m sure she’ll like this. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds wonderful will have to try raisins
I love to make banana bread. I’ve never made banana raisin bread. Looks delicious!

I love banana bread. I might have to try this.
This bread looks so delish! We love baking different breads and I just like having them on hand for dessert. May have to bake this this weekend!
Looks really yummy but I think I will just use plain old sugar instead of an artificial sweetner. I like the idea of adding raisins though.
looks really terrific and healthy. Would be great with tall glass of milk
I have a little on who needs healthy snacks and this looks perfect and delicious too.Thank you for sharing.
Sounds soooo good!
I have still yet to try to make banana bread as my husband doesn’t like bananas and I would have to eat the lot – is that an advantage or disadvantage?
I loveeeee bananas! yummy yummy in my tummy
July 20-I really like this recipe . I have a problem with the fat conrent so I would probaly cut down on the fat and use applesauce for part of it. I love reading new reciped and keep up the good work.-el03ro
July 20-thank you for this delicious-sounding recipe. I am always on the lookout for lofat and Losugar recipes. I, too, usually add applesauce as part of my ‘fat’ portion.
I love the use of alternative sweeteners in this recipe! It sounds delicious!
This looks like a great recipe. My son loves banana and raisins and I want to avoid nuts.
Yum! I would love to have this around for a snack! The raisins add a bit of chewiness as well! Love it!
I made this recipe last night since had some bananas that needed to go and boy did my son LOVE it. He’s a huge banana/raisin fan, so it wasn’t hard to get him to take bite. I made it in a little loaf pan and reduced the baking time by 10 mins.
I will be baking this in a few days! Thank You…It Looks so good!! 🙂
Never thought of adding raisins to banana bread.
Looks DELISH … Thanks for sharing , i think this would be a huge hit in our home !
My daughter makes this all the time but she uses whole wheat flour
I have never put raisins in banana bread, but would totally give it a try now! I also like to use apple sauce instead of oil for sweetness and moistness
this looks so good,will give it a try on the weekend,thanks
We tried a similar version at grandma’s recently. I really like the raisins added to banana bread!
My daughter makes a mean loaf of banana bread, yum
I made this recipe the other day and it was amazing! I actually sliced it and then twice baked the slices to make banana bread crisps and it was gobbled up by the kids! They thought it was some sort of chips! Thanks for sharing!
