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!

What would you change to make this high altitude friendly? We’ve lived in Denver 5 years and I am still terrible at adjusting recipies!
Does this need to be refrigerated after you make it?
No, not at all. It tastes great right away and you will be surprised how fast it will disappear ;)!! XOXO

I’m not sure why some comments said there was no taste? This bread was AMAZING!! Thanks so much!!
I cannot wait to try the strawberry banana bread.
It’s fresh strawberry on Cape Cod, so this post is very timely. I can’t wait to get home to try it!!!
Can you also do the cake receipes in ounces or grammars as being in the UK don’t have any measuring cups, just made the banana and strawberry loaf, but it was trial and error not knowing what a stick of butter aquated to?
I would love to! That is a great idea. I will work on that with my up and coming posts. Thanks so much for following along with me! XOXO

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.
I WILL TRY THIS BREAD AS SOON AS I GO TO THE STORE AGAIN. SOUNDS SO YUMMY
Can you use splendid instead of sugar
Yes, of course! That sounds great! XOXO
Of course u can. I even used wheat flour cause I’m a diabetic. It was awesome
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!
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.
