Ingredients
3 ripe bananas
1 cup diced strawberries
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
3. Stir in melted butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Add flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix gently until just combined.
5. Fold in diced strawberries, being careful not to crush them.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for the sweetest flavor and moistest texture.
Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour — this keeps the bread tender.
Fold strawberries in gently to prevent the batter from turning pink and soggy.
