How to Make the Best Raspberry Bread

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, Greek yogurt, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4: Combine & Add Raspberries

Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Enjoy

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Optional Add-Ons

  • Lemon Glaze – Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1 tbsp lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled bread.
  • Chocolate Chips – Add ½ cup of white or dark chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  • Almond Topping – Sprinkle sliced almonds on top before baking for a crunchy finish.

How to Store Raspberry Bread

  • Refrigerator – Keeps fresh for up to 5 days.
  • Freezer – Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries?
Yes! Use them straight from the freezer and toss them in a little flour to prevent bleeding into the batter.

What if I don’t have Greek yogurt?
You can use sour cream or buttermilk instead.

Can I make this gluten-free?
Absolutely! Swap the flour for a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.

Conclusion

This Raspberry Bread is soft, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. Whether you enjoy it plain or with a sweet glaze, it’s sure to be a family favorite.
