A Fruity Quick Bread!

• Strawberry banana bread is quick and easy! It can be assembled, baked and cooling on your kitchen counter in about 1 hour!
• The addition of rolled oats adds nutrition.
• Quick breads are perfect to make and freeze for easy lunch box treats!

Strawberry Banana Loaf Ingredients

The Quick Bread Base – eggs, sugar and butter are the base for any quick bread. Followed by flour, baking powder and baking soda. Using both baking powder and soda helps create a bread with a soft fluffy texture.

Bananas and Strawberries – Use ripe bananas as they have a more intense and sweet flavor that ones that are not as ripe. And they will mash easily which is a bonus! I used frozen strawberries because they are easy to mash, but I also added a few fresh in as well for texture. You can use all frozen or fresh if you prefer, just drain the liquid a bit before adding to the batter. Try this recipe with rhubarb, blueberries or peaches too.

Rolled Oats – This is not a usual quick bread ingredient, but I like the added nutrition it brings to the recipe.

How to make Strawberry Banana Bread

Discover how simple this version of banana bread is to make!

1. As always, preheat your oven, prepare your loaf pan with parchment paper and assemble your ingredients.
2. Beat eggs, then add all wet ingredients.
3. Stir together the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
4. Add the wet mixture to the dry. Mix only till combined – don’t over mix!
5. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick, when inserted into the loaf, comes out dry.
6. Allow to cool on a baking rack.

Tips for making a great quick bread

• First and foremost, do not over mix the batter! Over mixing is the main culprit for a tough consistency.
• Mash your bananas on a flat surface such as a cutting board. Most people mash in a bowl which, for me, is way more difficult. Trust me, mash them on a flat surface!
• Allow the eggs (and all your ingredients) to come to room temperature. If you are in a rush, set eggs in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to speed the process up.
• After your bread is cooled completely, be sure to wrap in plastic wrap to keep it moist. I like to double wrap my bread in both plastic wrap and a zippered bag, then store it in the refrigerator.
• Don’t be surprised if your banana bread tastes even better the next day! So you may want to make a double batch!
• Freeze this loaf for a quick grab and go snack, or when last minute guests pop over.

I hope you have success making this Strawberry Banana Bread recipe! It is a delicious twist on a classic favorite.
