Banana-Raspberry Bread
Banana bread can be made oh-so-many ways. This low fat banana bread features fresh raspberries, although a cup of frozen raspberries would work just fine. Enjoy with a glass of cold calcium-fortified orange juice or a fresh fruit smoothie for a delicious breakfast, or help yourself to a slice with some afternoon tea.
