Raspberry Dark Chocolate Bread

original recipe: http://www.recipeboy.com/2012/05/raspberry-dark-chocolate-banana-bread/

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 cup granulated white sugar

• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature

• 2 large eggs

• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 3 bananas)

• 1/3 cup plain low fat yogurt

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup dark chocolate chunks or chips
• 1 cup halved raspberries, tossed in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.

3. In a separate large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture; just until moist. Don't over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chunks and then gently stir in the raspberries. If you want, you can sprinkle a few additional chocolate chunks and raspberries on the top to make it look pretty.

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on the wire rack.
