Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring the edges overhang for easy removal of the bread.
2. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp brown sugar with 1 tbsp of all-purpose flour and 1 tbsp of butter, using a fork to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
3. Make the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1/2 cup of sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the mashed banana and 1 tsp of vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour, mixing gently.
- Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
- Fold in the remaining 1/3 cup all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Assemble and Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping evenly over the batter.
- Garnish with fresh raspberries on top if using.
5. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- If the top is browning too quickly, you can cover it loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
6. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Using the overhanging parchment paper, carefully lift the bread out of the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve!

Raspberry and banana bread with crumble FAQ:

What is the baking time for raspberry and banana bread?

Bake the raspberry and banana bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

How can I tell when the banana bread is done?

The banana bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If it's still wet or sticky, continue baking for a few more minutes, checking frequently.

Can I substitute the self-raising flour?

Yes, if you don't have self-raising flour, you can make a substitute by combining all-purpose flour with baking powder. For every cup of self-raising flour, use 1 cup of all-purpose flour plus 1 1/2 tsp baking powder.

What is the best way to store leftover banana bread?

Can I use frozen raspberries for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries. Just make sure to do not thaw them before adding, as they can make the batter too wet.

Cooking Tips:

- Ensure your banana is ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor. A ripe banana will have a few brown spots on the skin.

- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture, but if they are out of season, frozen raspberries can be a good substitute. Remember to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.

- Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can result in a denser texture.

- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and to help it hold its shape.

- Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or wrap it tightly and freeze for longer storage.
