Ingredients

Scale

  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

  • ¼ cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 10–12 ounces raspberries (about 2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the raspberries with the remaining 4 tablespoons of flour and set aside.

Notes

  • Coat the raspberries with flour to help keep them evenly distributed throughout the loaf.
