Strawberry banana bread is a moist, fruity twist on the classic loaf, combining overripe bananas and fresh strawberries for a soft, sweet, and irresistible bake—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Whisk in eggs, sugars, oil, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the diced strawberries and optional add-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor and moisture.
  • Pat strawberries dry if they’re especially juicy to avoid excess moisture.
  • Swap strawberries for blueberries or raspberries for variety.
  • Turn this recipe into muffins—bake at 350°F for 18–22 minutes.
  • Cool completely before slicing with a serrated knife for clean cuts.
