Strawberry Banana Bread
Description
Strawberry Banana Bread blends ripe mashed bananas and fresh strawberries within a spiced batter that includes cinnamon and vanilla. The addition of sour cream contributes moisture and tender crumb to the loaf. It is baked in a 9x5 loaf pan until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating a well-set bread. The result is a soft bread with a subtle fruity sweetness enhanced by cinnamon and vanilla.
The bread can be enjoyed plain, or complemented with butter or cream cheese for extra richness. It's ideal for slicing and serving at breakfast or as a wholesome snack.
To prevent over-browning, the bread can be tented with foil during the final baking minutes. Cooling it fully on a rack before slicing helps maintain the bread's structure and texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 egg large
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 banana ripe, mashed (about 1 cup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup strawberries chopped fresh, heaped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oil, sugars, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, sour cream, and mashed banana. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the baking powder and baking soda, and whisk well.
- Using a spatula, fold in the flour just until there are no dry streaks left.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, and bake for about 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out without wet batter clinging to it. I tented my bread with tinfoil for the last 10 minutes or so of baking to prevent excess browning on top. Note: keep in mind that ovens vary quite a bit, your bread could bake more quickly or more slowly than mine.
- Allow to partially cool in the pan, and then remove to a baking rack to fully cool.
- When ready to enjoy, slice and serve plain, or with butter or cream cheese.
