We have quite the collection of banana bread recipes on Fit Foodie Finds and I’m not mad about it. Since I was young, my mom pretty much always had a loaf of banana bread on the counter! I loved when she added other ingredients we had on hand to make them unique and seasonal just like this strawberry banana bread variation.

This strawberry banana bread is unique in that it not only has mashed banana in it and c،ks of strawberries, but it also has pureed strawberries in it. This is what makes it super moist and gives it an ultra-strawberry banana flavor!

What You Need to Make Healthy Strawberry Banana Bread

• white w،le wheat flour (option to sub regular all-purpose)

• strawberries
• banana
• coconut oil
• almond milk
• vanilla

How to Make Strawberry Banana Bread

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

First things first, mix together all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Use a whisk to combine and to remove any lumps.

Step 2: Puree Fruit

Next, place strawberries, banana, vanilla extract, milk, and ،ney in a high-s،d blender and puree until there are no lumps. Then, add in eggs and pulse a few times just enough to mix the eggs in while not over mixing.

Step 3: Mix Batter

Combine wet and dry ingredients and then finally, add in the melted coconut oil. The reason you add the coconut oil last is so that it does not seize in the cold batter. Coconut oil will firm up when it chills, so this prevents that from happening.

Step 4: Transfer into pan

Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and spray with coconut oil cooking spray. Transfer batter into the loaf pan and spread out evenly. Add a few slices of banana and strawberry to the top for a decorative touch.

Step 5: Bake

Bake uncovered at 350ºF 30 minutes. Then, cover with tin foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until completely cooked on the inside.

Let banana bread cool for 15 minutes before removing from the bread pan. Then, let it cool completely before slicing or freezing.

How long does this strawberry banana bread last?

Store banana bread in an air-tight container or gallon-size Ziplock with a piece of paper towel on the bottom to soak up the moisture. Option to leave on the counter-top for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5.

How to Freeze Strawberry Banana Bread

To freeze your strawberry banana bread, let cool completely. Then, tightly wrap it in a piece of plastic wrap and then once more with a piece of tin foil. Remove as much air from around the bread as possible. Write the name of the recipe and the date. The bread will last in the freezer for up to 3 months.
