05 -
2 big eggs
06 -
4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter, softened
07 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 -
375 grams ripe bananas, mashed (roughly 3 bananas)
09 -

# Instructions:
01 -
Leave it in the pan on a rack for about 15 minutes, then carefully tip it out. Let it finish cooling on the rack before you start slicing.
02 -
Pop it into the oven and bake for around 50–60 minutes. Check it by poking a wooden stick in the middle—it should come out clean when it's ready.
03 -
Before you start, set your oven to 175°C. Coat a 23x13 cm loaf pan with non-stick spray all over.
04 -
Grab your large bowl and mix the butter and sugar until they've come together and look a bit fluffy. Using an electric mixer on medium works great. Give it about a minute.
05 -
Get a medium bowl and combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir them up until they're well mixed.
06 -
Toss in the chocolate chunks or chips, then gently fold in your flour-coated raspberries so you don't smash them. Spread them out evenly through the mix.
07 -
Scoop out the batter and put it in your greased pan. Sprinkle on a few extra chocolate pieces or raspberries if you want it to look nice.
08 -
Add your dry mixture into the bowl with the wet stuff, gently folding it just until the flour disappears. Don't keep mixing once it's all combined.
09 -
Crack in one egg at a time, mixing after each. Then mix in the mashed bananas, yogurt, and vanilla until everything's smooth together.
# Notes:
01 -
Coat the raspberries in flour so they float better in the batter and don't all sink.
02 -
Don't mix the batter too much or it'll turn out tough and not as soft.
