It’s summer and that means you need to take full advantage of all of the fresh dark, sweet cherries available right now. Yes, they are super delicious as is but if you want to take them to next level kind of good then you need to get your hands on this Cherry Dessert Bread!!

Homemade bread of any sort is always amazing but my family and I have become somewhat obsessed with this cherry bread lately. And by obsessed I mean when the loaves are gone, my husband starts asking when I’m going to be making more. It’s truly amazing!

I’m calling this cherry dessert bread as a hint that it’s not meant to be eaten at every meal or in place of every meal like my husband thinks it should be! Haha!

However, if you have new neighbors moving in nearby or family that you want to bake something for then this cherry bread will be just the thing to say welcome to the neighborhood or I love you mom and dad!

Here is a list of some of my favorite brunch must-haves:

This cherry dessert bread, duh! 🙂
Strawberry rhubarb muffins. I can’t go even a couple weeks without making something with rhubarb in it and these muffins are the perfect thing!
Zucchini fritters. I am actually more of a savory brunch eater myself so these fritters are very much up my alley! If you have never made fritters before you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy they are to make!
Blackberry + Cream Cheese Toast. I love when blackberry season comes around and this is a quick and easy go to breakfast on any day of the week!

The perfect brunch would definitely include this irresistible raspberry banana bread. It’s so quick and easy to make and it always turns out just like I would expect banana bread to taste but with a boost in flavor from the raspberries.

This raspberry banana bread is sooo good you guys. But I am not going to sit here and tell you how incredibly delicious this bread tastes. See for yourselves…

I just love how moist this bread is because it tastes like I spent hours on it when in reality it comes together so quickly. Easy peasy banana squeezy. The hardest part about this raspberry banana bread is waiting for those darn bananas to ripen until they begin to have all those black spots on them.

For anyone who feels they don’t have time for breakfast, this is the way to do breakfast! Just grab a quick slice of this raspberry banana bread and that’s that. The kids love it too! They would eat it all in one sitting if I let them and I am running out of hiding spots. Whether it’s breakfast, a quick snack in the afternoon or dessert, this bread is your answer!!

How are you doing after setting your clocks forward? A little sleep deprived, eh? I definitely am. So get those ovens preheating and make this raspberry banana bread to have a week of on-the-go breakfasts that taste like a TEN!

Spring is coming soon! It sure doesn’t feel like it yet, though. March is a weird month sometimes. It’s been crazy cold this year and the wind, ugh! However, here I am baking and cooking like we are in the middle of spring in hopes that the weather will soon start to feel like spring is in the air.

That’s why I am snacking on this delicious and out of this world raspberry banana bread like I’m all ready for Easter brunch. Life is good, the weather could be better, but this bread as-good-as-cake in my mind has got my mind in the clouds.

Baking is an art. Cooking is too, but you are allowed to make a mistake here or there without it causing any damage. Baking is completely different. Add too much of an ingredient or too little and you are gonna know it. It can be so frustrating but so rewarding when you get it right. So definitely keep that in mind when you are baking and measure your ingredients carefully.

When this bread came out of the oven, I was jumping for joy. LITERALLY. I almost didn’t want to eat it because it was so beautiful. Almost.

I totally loved capturing this bread with my camera. It looked good no matter what I did. My kids (and husband) were getting pretty antsy because I was taking so long. All I was worried about was getting that perfect photo and they were just worried about eating it in the next two seconds.

In my opinion, this bread is worth the wait. YUMMM!
