I love banana bread. It’s my thing. I’ll take banana bread over a fancy dessert anytime. I couldn’t get enough of this super soft, moist banana bread that’s bursting with juicy strawberries in every bite. I have over 40 different recipes for banana bread and dozens more for banana muffins and banana cakes. I have an older recipe for a Soft and Fluffy Strawberry Banana Cake, and this strawberry bread is and new and improved rendition of that recipe. This strawberry banana bread is a fast, easy, no mixer recipe, and because I used oil there’s no butter to cream and no mixer to dirty. Oil keeps bread softer and springier than butter, and I prefer it.

How to Make Strawberry Banana Bread
Making a homemade banana and strawberry loaf is as easy as classic banana bread. Here are the basic recipe steps:
Recipe Tips and Tricks
To prevent the strawberries from sinking: For this recipe, it’s important that you toss the berries in a little flour before folding them into the batter. If you skip this step, the berries may sink to the bottom of the loaf while it bakes. If the top is browning too quickly: You may also need to tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped loosely over it in the last 10 minutes or so of baking to prevent top and sides of the banana bread from becoming overly browned before center cooks through. Freezing: You can easily freeze this bread if desired. Once it cools to room temperature, seal it in a freezer bag. Set it out on your counter to thaw overnight when you’re ready to dig in.
