Ingredients

1 oz. raisins or sultanas
1/2 cup warm water
5 large bananas very ripe (about 2 cups)
2 cups whole wheat flour or 1 cup (120g) whole wheat and 1 cup (120g) all-purpose
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup butter softened
2 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp stevia optional

Instructions

Soak the raisins

Soak the raisins in the warm water until they swell. (At least 10 minutes or up to overnight.)

Make the bread

Preheat the oven to 350F / 180 C / gas mark 4. Grease a 9x5" loaf pan.
Drain the raisins and transfer them to the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add the bananas and blend until they're pureed.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. These are your dry ingredients.
In the bowl of stand mixer or large bowl, beat butter and eggs well. Add vanilla to the mixer bowl and continue beating. Add banana/raisin mixture and continue mixing until well-combined. Taste, and add stevia if desired. These are your wet ingredients.
Stir the dry ingredients by hand into the wet ingredients. Do NOT over-mix. (Batter will be very thick.) Scoop batter into loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in preheated oven 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Remove loaf from oven, let cool 10 minutes, then tip the loaf out to continue cooling on wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, with or without butter.
