Hi everyone! Jenn back from Deliciously Sprinkled!
I hope you are all having a great summer so far, I know I have been enjoying my summer so far and I especially love to visit our local farmers market to stock up on all the delicious, fresh vegetables and fruits, like these strawberries I used in today’s Strawberry Banana Bread.
This bread is a simple to make quick bread perfect for breakfast or as a snack! I love banana bread but when you add fresh strawberries it takes this bread to a whole new level of deliciousness! And when this bread is baking in the oven, it makes your house smell amazing.
So the next time your at your local farmers market or store, don’t forget to pick up some fresh strawberries and bananas so you can make this delicious bread. I know your going to love it!

More delicious quick bread recipe from Deliciously Sprinkled:
We just made this recipe and it is delicious, moist and good for you because of the TWO fruits 🙂 We made ours gluten-free and we live at high altitude and did not have to make any time adjustments, it baked perfectly. Thank you for sharing!
What did you use to replace the flour? Newly diagnosed with Celiac. Thank you!
How did you bake it gluten free, what did you use?
Im so not a baker but wanted to test this recipe as my first attempt making any type of bread. Instructions were clear. I usually stray away from recipes, only using it as a platform in creating my own masterpiece but i pretty much did everything as noted above except i added maybe 5 sprinkles of cinnamon to the dry flour mixture. This came out sooooo good!! My 6yr old who refuses fruit & veggies ate almost a whole loaf to himself! It was so moist & flavorful I couldn’t believe I gt it on the first try. Definitely a hit.
Can you substitute whole wheat flour for the white flour?
I have never substituted full wheat, only half white flour and half wheat. So I am not sure if it will work.
I substituted whole wheat flour at 3/4 cups whole wheat to 1 cup of white flour and although it didn’t rise as high as a normal loaf, it was still moist and delicious. I did not adjust the baking time.
This bread was really delicious and easy to make. Thank you for this great recipe!
Can you use blueberries instead?
Yes! I am sure it would turn out just fine.
Will this recipe work if I make muffins instead of a loaf?
As the person asked above; can you use this recipe for muffins?
I used a muffin pan for mine and they turned out perfect. This is now my family’s go-to muffin recipe. 😊
I Love that idea!! Thanks so much for sharing!! XOXO
How long and at what temperature did you bake your muffins at?
This recipe looks great can.take wait to make it is make mini breads and use for gifts and I also freeze and sell in craft fairs
How did you adjust time and temp when making mini loaves? Thanks!
OMG! I can imagine how your kitchen smelled, strawberry and banana, this combination is my favorite smoothie and now a loaf cake? Awesome!
Could I make this in a bread maker ?
would like to know the gluten free recipe for the banana and strawberry bread . thank you Annie.
Did anyone else find that the baking time was too short? I had to bake my loaf for 1 hour and 10 minutes. ( Yes, I did use the two different oven settings.) I have since looked up another recipe for Strawberry Banana Bread and it said to bake the loaf at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes. The bread was moist, but I was wishing it had more of a strawberry flavor.
Yup, Me too! 1h 10m was what I had to extend my time to as well. I also did the two different temperatures. Maybe it has to do with ovens… mine is very old.
Lauren–hope this worked out! And in reply to your question, there are many factors in baking time….altitude, actual cooking temp in the oven, etc. I just try to keep an eye on it towards the end but there are a lot of variables that don’t make it as exact as we’d like.
Enjoy!
I am on another 15 minutes longer because the center was uncooked. Also it says to grease 2 pans and the batter only filled 1 pan.
I blended up some strawberries and mixed it in with the batter then folded in chopped up strawberries
I made this in a 6x4ish tin (4 at the top, 3 at the bottom) with half the stated ingredients. Being in the UK I converted the cups to grams as follows – remember this is half the mix: 60g butter, 100g sugar, 115g flour (since i read that its 110g for a cup of sieved flour and 120g for not sieved so i went in the middle, plus there is a bit more flour from tossing the strawberries), 1 large egg, 1.5 medium very ripe bananas, half a tsp of baking powder. My strawberries were very ripe too, I washed and chopped them and then measured them out by filling a measuring jug up to about 180ml before tossing in flour.
After pouring the mix into the tin, I sprinkled with a few shakes of cinnamon and a bit of granulated sugar.
The loaf baked for 15m at 190 degrees celcius and then turned down to 180. After 40m total cooking time the centre was still very wet. I put it back and left it alone until just short of 1 hour total cooking time and the skewer came out clean. So given that i used half the mix i agree the baking time seems a little short in the original recipe but I also suspect my loaf is deeper than each of the loaves in the recipe.
I’ve gone into so much detail because the loaf came out beautifully! I let it cool for an hour before turning and I’ve just eaten a slice. The strawberries taste good probably because they were very ripe and so very sweet and moist.
I only forgot to add the salt but the loaf tastes fine without it.
Oh my God sooooooo yuummmyyy.
Soooo yummy
Smelled amazing while it was baking, but the finished product was just bland. Not worth doing again. Couldn’t taste the strawberries at all.
Interesting. This has been getting rave reviews!
the secret to flavor is EXTRA EXTRA well done bananas (so I am assuming it would be the same with strawberries) .
As with any fruit, the riper the fruit the more flavor you have!
Hi Alyssa!! This looks and sounds so yummy, nice to have an alternative to the basic banana bread recipe! I am working on a round-up for my blog and would love to feature you! It would include a link back and a photo!! I know my readers will love this updated version!
That looks so yummy! Lol
I am not a baker by any means and this turned out so good! I doubled the recipe…used whole wheat flour instead of white flour, used about 1/4 less sugar and doubled the strawberries in the recipe. Just went strawberry picking and used fresh strawberries rather than store bought. Would def make again!
I doubled the recipe made 2 loaf size and 1 in a 12 mini brownie pan added walnuts. I love the idea of strawberries and bananas together. In the oven now can’t wait until it’s baked ..I’m ready to try!
I wonder if I could use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
For the GF people you use Cup4Cup flour which already has zantham gum in the mix. Using a flour such as King Arthur will not work unless you add the gum.
Omg!!! This is one of the best breads I’ve ever eaten!!!! Absolutely delicious! I added some walnuts to one of my loafs and it’s even more delish!!😃
Just made this as I had some over ripe bananas to use up. Cheated by putting all the ingredients in a food processor apart from the strawberries. I only had margarine so used that instead of butter & put the whole mixture in a tray bake tin. I had to cook it for just over an hour but it’s moist & delicious. Thank you.
Reciepe is amazing.
Can u tell me substitute for butter plz?
Coconut oil is a wonderful alternative! Same measurments as butter and makes breads so moist. Just make sure you whip it up really good so there’s no clumps.
I made it today because i had ripe bananas and lot of strawberries. Reduced sugar towith 3/4 cup.
Result and Feedback:
Amazing. Everybody love it!!!!! Even me.
I used a bundt pan. 350 degrees. 30 minutes. whole wheat flour.
thanks!!!!!
What size bundt pan did you use?
Going to make this one thanks for sharing.
Excellent recipe..second time making it !!
That is GREAT to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Your Recipe Critic,
Alyssa
Salted Butter or unsalted butter?? Does it matter?
My Mom doesn’t like bananas can I make it without bananas or with a different fruit combination?
I have not made this bread without bananas in it but I have used applesauce to add or substitute for lack of bananas. If you find something that works best for your bread let me know!! Xo
This is a great Recipe. With most of these breads, to increase the flavors, after cooling, wrap tightly and do not cut into for 24 hours.
I am about to try this and reading comments about strawberries lacking taste, maybe when mixing with the flour a pinch of black pepper might bring the taste out.
I just made it. But I forgot to toss the strawberries in the flour mixture. Hope it turns out ok. And I had my bananas almost a week and they wouldn’t turn black and I wanted to make this so bad. But they were really mushy. Extending the baking time a little to see how it goes. Will let you know in a hour.
Let me know how it turns out!! Good luck!! Xo
Just made this recipe this morning. The taste itself is great. I love banana bread so this, to me, tastes amazing. However, I have a couple of issues with the recipe. First, the mix only filled one pan. Second, I had to cook it for an extra 30-40 minutes for it fully cook. Overall the taste is good and it is very easy to make, I just wish the yield and cook time was accurate. And using very ripe bananas definitely adds a ton of flavor. 🙂
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Large bananas? Small bananas? What is the measurement in cups?
Thanks!
anyone have nutritional info?
I tried the banana strawberry bread recipe and it was delicious. Also made it in muffins and added some cinnamon, and it was even more delicious. I was able to get 18 muffins using a slightly smaller muffin tin. Will certainly be making it again and again
That is so great to hear!! Thanks so much for sharing with everyone! I am so happy you enjoyed it! I love the idea of muffins!! I will have to try that soon! Thanks!!
Hi. My friend and I have made this Strawberry Banana Bread two times now. Turns out really good, except the bottom is soggy. What are we doing wrong ?
loveit
Made as directed. Baking time was accurate for my oven. Baking two loaves (9×5 pans) results in loaves about 1.5 inches high. I will probably look for another pan option. Taste and texture is good. I made an orange glaze for the top of the loaves, resulting in a strawberry banana orange flavor. YUM!
Can the banana and strawberry bread be made with almond flour. Or can any of the recipes be made with almond flour or if milk required can almond milk be used. Thank you
You are always welcome to substitute or change the recipes that are best for you. The recipe may have a different texture or taste though if not using the exact ingredients. Let me know how it turns out! I am excited to hear! XOXO
Was looking for banana bread recipe & stumbled upon this recipe. I had some strawberries too, so thought, why not..
My son’s grandma doesn’t like bananas. But she tried this one & she raved at how tasty it came!
Thanks very much!
I am so glad that you found me! Thank you so much for following along with me! You will love this banana bread! Enjoy!
Hi there. If I were to make mini loaves for strawberry banana bread, how would I adjust time being cooked? Thanks in advance!
I love this recipe, so simple and delicious! My house smelt amazing and this bread was a hit with my family and coworkers! I was wondering if I can also replace the strawberries with blueberries in this recipe? Would it still be as good?
Yes, what a great idea! Thanks for sharing and following along with me! XOXO
I made this bread today, and it turned out perfect! I used one long loaf pan that would be equal to 2 regular pans. I let it bake 10 to 15 minutes longer then it called for. Nice and moist, and pretty too! Will keep making this.
Can I substitute cocoanut flour instead?
Yes, of course!! I can’t wait to hear how it turns out! XOXO
I have made this bread 3 times now, but the 2nd time I used blueberries instead of strawberries, and it was equally good! I put chopped walnuts in the last batch. This is my go to banana bread recipe from now on, and I think I’ll just keep experimenting with fruit options. Everyone seems to love it!
it took me longer to make it than for it to be completely devoured. Thank you!
Self rising flour or all purpose ?
I used all purpose flour for this recipe. Enjoy your bread!! XOXO
What kind of flour is used for this? Is it all purpose flour?
Yes, all purpose flour. XOXO
How can I use frozen strawberries in this recipe?
I just made this recipe and it turned out yummy! I had bananas and strawberries that I needed to use so I made muffins instead of loaves; baked them at 350°F for about 18 minutes. In some bites you can taste the strawberries while in others you can taste the banana. They turned out nice and moist, but I did feel like something was missing. I might try adding walnuts next time for crunch or chocolate chips for a little something sweet. Thanks for the recipe!
Can I use Almond flour in place of the flour? I am trying to go Paleo and have to stop using so much flour in mine and my families diets.
Yes, of course! You are welcome to make any of my recipes your own. It may alter the taste and texture but I think it will still taste delicious! Thanks for following along with me! XOXO
I’m looking forward to my husband making this when strawberries come on sale later on this season. Until then I’ll just have to druel upon your pictures! Can’t wait until then …
Wow love all yr reciepes n gunna try the strawberry n banana cake as need to get littlen to eat more fruit n hopefully find sum reciepes for veg as i carnt seam to get him to eat any.
Is it plain flour or self raising flower
For this bread I used all purpose flour. XOXO
Everything looks so good
Are you able to replace the flour with Almond or Coconut Flour in this recipe?
Yes, of course! You are welcome to alter or change any of my recipes to make your own. It may change the texture and/or flavor of the recipe but it still should turn out great and how you like it! Enjoy! XOXO
I am going to try the salmon with creamy dill sauce and the strawberry banana bread, as my mom loves them both…thank you for the recipes. I love trying new recipes…
That sounds delicious! Thank you so much for sharing! I can’t wait to hear how it all turns out!Thank you for following along with me! XOXO
Love the look of the recipe and the reviews confirm it is gorgeous! I would like to make this for my lactose intolerant daughter. I know coconut oil can be subbed but does anyone know the quantities I should use?
All suggestions welcome and thanks for the recipes 🙂
Great Recipe!! Turned out so yummy. I added some ground cinnamon and 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup regular sugar and OMG! Had enough for one loaf and 2 muffins. Thanks for sharing, will make again.
Just made this today… Got two and half loaves (used 8×4 loaf pans)… Absolutely amazingly good! Did have to bake an extra 15 minutes but no biggie… Can’t wait to make some muffins with this recipe! Thanks for sharing this!
I love this recipe. Can I make muffins with it?, if so, how long would I bake them
MMM! That sounds great! I haven’t made them into muffins. I would love to hear how they turn out! XOXO
This was delishous when I made it! Needed about 1:20 mins to cook also, although the wait was worth it. I made it for my co-workers. I suggest using really ripe strawberries, the taste comes through a lot better. I had gone strawberry picking to get the perfect ones!
How much cinnamon can I add to the strawberry banana bread? Someone made some with cinnamon in theres, and wont give up their recipe.
Why isn’t this IN MY TUMMY RUGHT NOW?????
Ugh… I have to cook it first? Then clean up?
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????????
I don’t want to adult. I want to pay someone to adult for me.
Alyssa! Let me start by saying -I do not bake! Your recipe looked so amazing, I just had to try it. We haven’t cut them yet, but they look and smell awesome! I see lots of people commenting on the baking time, I still had 6 minutes on the timer and the toothpick came out clean and the loaves are a nice golden brown. Your recipe clearly states TWO PANS and I think a lot of people are putting all the batter in one. I do think mine are a little smaller and they are glass. I was a little shy on bananas, one end was just too ripe, so I added a little applesauce and some extra strawberries. Had planned to cut them for breakfast … Might be a midnight snack!
Can you use splendid instead of sugar
Yes, of course! That sounds great! XOXO
I WILL TRY THIS BREAD AS SOON AS I GO TO THE STORE AGAIN. SOUNDS SO YUMMY
Just made this today, it was good!! Will make again. I did make it in 2 loaf pans as recipe says. But I baked mine for 40mins at 350. Also I used frozen strawberries as I didn’t have fresh. I chopped them frozen & coated in the flour.
Just made this today & it was good, will make again!! I also used frozen strawberries, just chopped them frozen & coated with flour. I also baked it for 40 mins at 350°F. Plus I used 2 pans as recipe stated.
I love your site.
