This weeks bake features strawberries; my favorite springtime splurge. I love banana bread of all kinds, I just couldn’t resist making a version with strawberries. I’ve tried SO MANY versions of banana bread, and most of them are pretty dense. I don’t discriminate, I love banana bread dense or not. If I have to choose though, I’m going to make it on the lighter, fluffier side.

This is a one bowl recipe because ONE BOWL. I’ve made it by mixing wet ingredients first and then adding dry, but I’ve also made it combining dry and then mixing everything else in. The best method for me is to mix wet first and then add the dry ingredients. That way the batter doesn’t tend to overmix and become tougher.

Tips for the best strawberry banana bread:

  • Use overripe bananas. I wait until they have brown spots, that’s the prime time to use them for maximum banana flavor.
  • Use greek yogurt or sour cream to better activate the baking powder, the rising agent in the recipe.
  • Thicker batter makes fluffier, less dense banana bread. I use a slightly higher flour to banana ratio to keep my bread nice and fluffy.
  • Don’t overmix! I will never stop saying it. Quick breads are only mixed until just combined, this keeps the bread tender and fluffy instead of dense and rubbery.

Process of making Strawberry Banana Bread: ingredients laid out on marble surface, Pouring strawberries into wet and dry ingredients, mixed raw dough, raw strawberry banana bread dough in 9x5 pan.

How to make strawberry banana bread:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sour cream (I use plain greek yogurt), egg, 2 mashed bananas, and vanilla. Mix well.
  2. On top of wet ingredients add flour, brown sugar, white sugar, slat, and baking powder and mix until just combined, fold in strawberries that have been tossed in flour (the flour coating keeps them from sinking to the bottom).
  3. Bake at 350 F in a 9×5 inch loaf pan for 50-55 min or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Combine ingredients for glaze. Let bread cool for 10-15 min, then drizzle glaze over top of loaf.
