Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Banana Bread

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your loaf pan by greasing it to avoid any sticky situations.

  • Incorporate both granulated sugar and brown sugar into the banana mixture, then stir in eggs one at a time and add vanilla extract.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl for even distribution.
  • Gently add the dry mixture to the banana mixture, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in the diced strawberries evenly into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

Macerating the strawberries beforehand can intensify their flavor.
