- In separate bowl, beat eggs until slightly foamy. Add vanilla, brown sugar, and melted butter. Add in the macerated strawberries and mashed bananas.

- For this recipe, we prefer a glass loaf pan. If you use a metal pan, it's best to use a light-colored one. If you use a darker metal pan, decrease bake time - start checking bread at 55 minutes.
- If you use a 9x5" instead of 8x5", plan to decrease bake time. Start checking bread at 55 minutes.
- Chop or gently mash the strawberries for even disbursement of berries throughout the bread. This prevents heavy chunks of fruit from sinking to the bottom of your strawberry bread.
- If desired, you can use a combination of whole wheat and regular flour (up to half of each) or try white-whole-wheat flour.
- Bread can be frozen airtight for several weeks.
- Serve Strawberry Banana Bread with a scoop of Creamy Vanilla Bean Ice Cream for a truly satisfying dessert.
