Ingredients

• 3 pieces ripe bananas
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cups raisins
• 0.25 cups milk (optional, for soaking raisins)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

If desired, soak the raisins in warm milk for 10 minutes to plump them up. Drain before using.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 4

Add the melted butter to the mashed bananas and mix until combined.

Step 5

Whisk in the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.

Step 7

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 8

Fold in the raisins with a spatula to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 9

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the banana bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
