Homemade Strawberry Banana Bread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup ripe brown bananas
- 1/2 cup canned or frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup softened real butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe brown bananas until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your bread will be!
- Add the canned strawberries, chopped walnuts, all-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, salt, softened butter, vanilla, and sour cream to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix everything together until well combined, but be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The heavenly aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist!
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
