Tips for

Use ripe bananas for the sweetest, most flavorful bread. The riper the banana, the more natural sweetness it adds.

Chop strawberries evenly to avoid large chunks sinking to the bottom.

Do not overmix the batter. Folding gently will keep the bread light and fluffy.

Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch if you like.

You can freeze slices of this bread for up to 2 months. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then foil.

Ingredients :

• 3 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon “optional”
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¾ cup sugar “or ½ cup for less sweetness”
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

How to Make Strawberry Banana Bread :

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F “175°C” and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray. This ensures your bread won’t stick to the pan and mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. You can use a fork or potato masher. This is where the bread gets its moist texture then mix wet ingredients : stir in the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt until well combined. The mixture should be creamy and smooth.

Step 2

Combine dry ingredients: in a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. This ensures even distribution and prevents lumps and fold wet and dry ingredients together: gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix, or the bread may become tough.

Step 3

Add strawberries: fold in the chopped strawberries carefully so they don’t break down too much and turn the batter pink then pour into the loaf pan: Smooth the top with a spatula and, if desired, sprinkle a few extra strawberries or sugar on top for a decorative finish.

Step 4

Bake for 50–60 minutes: check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, your bread is ready then cool completely: let the bread cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. This helps prevent it from becoming soggy at the bottom.
