This delightful Strawberry Banana Bread is a moist and flavorful twist on classic banana bread, studded with juicy strawberries for a burst of freshness in every bite.
Ingredients
Bread:
- 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, eggs, sugars, oil, yogurt, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon if using.
- Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Add strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Toss strawberries with a tablespoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent sinking.
- Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
