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!

Self rising flour or all purpose ?
I used all purpose flour for this recipe. Enjoy your bread!! XOXO
it took me longer to make it than for it to be completely devoured. Thank you!
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!
Can I substitute cocoanut flour instead?
Yes, of course!! I can’t wait to hear how it turns out! 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.
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
Hi there. If I were to make mini loaves for strawberry banana bread, how would I adjust time being cooked? Thanks in advance!
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!
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
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!
I thought the same thing. Not nearly enough batter for 2 pans!
loveit
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 ?
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!!
anyone have nutritional info?
Large bananas? Small bananas? What is the measurement in cups?
Thanks!
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
