Banana and Raisin Bread - Oh and I didn't add raisins because some of my kids don't like raisins. I added chocolate chips in place of the raisins. Maybe the raisins add a degree of moistness. Oh and for some reason I didn't care much for the chopped peanuts in the bread. This golden raisin banana bread recipe is easy-to-make and tastes fantastic. It uses sweet and juicy golden raisins versus boring old regular raisins. This results in a banana bread that is great for breakfast or desserts. Thank you and good luck
