Serving: 10 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Ingredients
– For the wet mixture:
– 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
– 2/3 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs, at room temperature
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– For the dry mixture:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– For folding in:

Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.

6. Add the diced strawberries to the batter and fold gently until evenly distributed.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with the spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 55–65 minutes. Tip: Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Tip: Then, carefully run a knife around the edges and turn it out onto the rack to cool completely—this prevents it from getting soggy.
10. Slice and serve once fully cooled, about 1 hour.
