Raspberry Chocolate Banana Bread

I shared with you a couple of muffin recipes using buckwheat, last week. Today I give to you a different version of banana bread.

This bread tasted quite different than the banana muffins I previously made. These little loaves {aren't they cute} included raspberries, as well as chocolate chips. It also used yogurt {I used coconut yogurt, of coarse} which made it quite moist. 

Maybe a little too moist...it took twice as long as I expected to cook through. These little puppies did make it to the freezer {unlike these} and now I don't have to purposely overripe bananas to make some more.

Personally, I do prefer the other recipe for banana bread, but I like the raspberries thrown in, on this one. They are both delicious, but each have very different flavors and textures.
