How to Make Strawberry Banana Bread

Step 5 – Mash up the ripe bananas and add them to the mixture. Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.  Add in strawberry mixture.

Pouring the bread batter in the loaf pan

Step 6 – Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan.  Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

  • Step 7 – Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Step 8 – Once the bread has cooled, it’s ready to slice, serve and enjoy!

Expert Tips

  • Baking Bread – Watch the bread closely toward the end of the cook time. If the top of the bread is browning too quickly, tent the top of the pan with foil to prevent it from getting too browned. Cooking time will vary.
  • Combining Ingredients – When combining ingredients, make sure to not overmix the batter. This may cause the texture of the bread to change.
  • Loaf Pan – Before pouring the batter into the loaf pan, make sure to spray with cooking spray. We have even lined the pan with parchment paper so it is easy to remove and slice.
  • Bananas – Make sure to use ripe bananas.
