Berry Banana Loaf
This originally started out as a plain, but healthy banana loaf from one of my cookbooks. After getting fed up with making the same kind of banana loaf, and wishing to experiment, I came up with this one. I have not tried raspberries in this loaf, but I do wish to in the near future, which is why I'm putting it down as optional. The berries add a nice colour to the loaf, and it makes it somewhat juicy.
