Notes

  • How to Store and Freeze Strawberry Banana Bread
  • You can store the strawberry banana bread in an airtight container on the counter for 1 day, but it will last up to 7 days in the refrigerator.
  • You can also freeze the banana bread for up to 3 months.
  • To store: slice the cooled bread, tightly wrap the individual pieces with plastic wrap or foil, and freeze in one large zip-locked bag. You can thaw the slices in the refrigerator or microwave for 30 to 45 seconds until warm.
  • Variations:
  • Frozen Strawberries: Some people asked in the comments if they could use frozen strawberries. I’ve never tried it, but it’s certainly worth a try if fresh aren’t in season. I would thaw them first, and you may need to roast them a little longer to really dry them out. If you try it, comment below to let me know how it works!
  • Muffins: Make strawberry banana bread muffins – bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Applesauce: If you don’t have any applesauce, substitute it with more bananas.
  • Nuts: Add 1/3 cup chopped almonds or pecans.
  • Spices: Add a little cinnamon.
