🥘 Ingredients
Ingredient Notes:
Sugar- Use granulated sugar for added sweetness and to help give us a more tender crumb.
Bananas- Use some ripe yellow bananas. The ones with spots or that are close to being completely black are best because they're sweeter and more flavorful.
Strawberries- Use some fresh washed strawberries for added color and flavor. If you still have strawberries, try them in our Rustic Strawberry Galette or Strawberry Peach Cobbler.
Leavening agents- To help this bread rise properly, you'll need baking soda and baking powder.

🍴 Recipe Tips
- Enhancing Strawberry Flavor: For a stronger strawberry taste, mash strawberries with bananas. Use a potato masher for smaller pieces. This distributes flavor better.
- Preventing Over-Browning: As the bread browns quickly, check it halfway through baking. If it's browning too fast, cover with foil to slow browning.
💭 Recipe FAQs
Yes! This bread recipe doesn't require any dairy products to help make it. This means that it is 100% dairy free!
If your bananas need a little speeding up, you can stick them on a baking sheet in the oven for 15-30 minutes at 300F degrees until black. Keep an eye on them though as they can overripen and leak. You want the peels black and shiny.
While optional, you can include ingredients like chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) or chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
