The mixture won't quite look its best, but it will soon come good! Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and baking powder and stir through until nicely mixed in. Then stir the bananas in, followed by a gentle fold in of the raspberries.

• Leave to cool in the pan for a few minutes before lifting out and leaving to cool completely on a wire rack. The loaf will stay at its best for 1 to 2 days when stored in an airtight container.
