What do I need to make Strawberry Banana Bread?
- Butter: Allow to soften on the counter or soften in microwave about 10 seconds.
- Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness
- Eggs: beaten
- Bananas: Use very ripe and mashed with a fork or mixer
- Flour:Gives structure to the bread.
- Baking soda:Leavening agent that causes the bread to rise.
- Salt: Just a pinch
- Fresh strawberries: Chopped & tossed in flour
How to Make Baked Bread
Prep: Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray two 9×5 loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
Large bowl: In a large bowl, using a KitchenAid Stand Mixer with paddle attachment cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Small bowl: In a small bowl, beat eggs using a fork. Add eggs to sugar mixture and beat until combined. Add mashed bananas and mix until combined.
Sift dry ingredients: Sift all dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add sifted dry ingredients to banana mixture and mix until flour is just combined. DO NOT OVER MIX! Fold in floured covered strawberries.
Bake: Pour batter into prepared loaf pans and bake at 375*F for 15 minutes. REDUCE heat to 350*F and bake for an additional 30 minutes until edges are slightly brown or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from loaf pans.
Variations and Substitutions
- Butter:Salted butter will also work for this. Just leave out the pinch of salt.
- Sugar:If you love a little more sweetness, substitute white sugar for brown sugar or going healthier try coconut sugar.
- Bananas:Use frozen bananas by thawing them overnight at room temperature. If there is any liquid from the bananas, simply discard that before mashing in the recipe.
- Chocolate chips:Who can resist chocolate! Chocolate chips can be sprinkled on top, in the batter or both!
- Nuts or seeds:I do love walnuts but pecans, sunflower seeds or pecans also make for an added soft crunch.
- Fresh Local fruit: Use whatever you find that looks amazing at your local farmers market. Try cranberries, blueberries or raspberries change this banana bread into something fresh and fruity!

Can you use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

I just bought strawberries and came across your recipe. It was so easy to make. I followed your exact ingredients and directions and the loaves came out perfect and taste oh so yummy! Thanks for sharing!Reply
I baked for small loaves of this tonight in a 4 loaf pan.
If I am giving the loaves away tomorrow night as a gift, do you recommend freezing them overnight? Or is it better to just tightly wrap them after they cool? Thank you. I’ve made a similar recipe for years, but this was my first time adding strawberries. Delicious!Reply
Wow. So good! I only had two overly ripe bananas (both really large) and it still worked great. Yum!! Didn’t adjust any amounts besides the bananas. I did add some vanilla. This is a keeper, I can’t stop taking slicing off to eat 😅Reply
This recipe is amazing! My loaves did rise as they should and the taste was incredible. Thank you for sharing this!Reply
Delish! I added a teaspoon of vanilla to the beaten eggs and baked in two 8 1/2 by 4 loaf pans. These were very low-rising but taste and texture were fantastic!Thanks!
