Equipment

  • Loaf pan (9x5 inches)

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar or white sugar
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add the mashed bananas, then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, swap butter for coconut oil or dairy-free margarine.
  • Add chocolate chips or nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for extra texture and flavor.
  • If using frozen strawberries, chop them while frozen and avoid thawing them before adding to the batter.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
