Ingredients

Fruits

3 medium ripe bananas, mashed The spottier the better for sweetness.
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped small Patted dry to avoid excess moisture.

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour Can swap half for whole wheat flour.
1 cup brown sugar Regular sugar can be substituted.
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt A pinch adds flavor.

Wet Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup neutral oil or melted butter Oil keeps it extra moist.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Add-ins

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped nuts For added texture and flavor.
1 teaspoon cinnamon Optional for extra warmth.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan, lining it with parchment if desired.
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.
Stir in sugar, eggs, oil or butter, and vanilla until combined and glossy.
Gently sprinkle in the flour, baking soda, and salt, stirring until just mixed.
Fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are patted dry.

Baking

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 50 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For those who prefer a bakery-style finish, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top before baking for a lovely crust. This bread can also be frozen in slices for convenience.
