Strawberry Banana Bread is a pink twist with fresh sweet flavor on a classic recipe.
A few weeks ago I went strawberry picking for the first time with my 2 sister-in-laws & their little ones. I’ve been to many apple orchards over the years, although more so as a child, but I had never been strawberry picking before & I was extremely excited.
Before leaving on this strawberry adventure I made a deal with Roger not to come home with a carload full of strawberries because there is no way the two of us could eat an enormous amount of strawberries before they go bad. And so I was determined to try my hardest not to pick too many.
HAHA. That didn’t happen!
I felt like a kid in a candy store with no supervision.
It was a good thing my little nieces were distracted by picking flowers about five minutes into strawberry picking or else I might have plowed over them in search of the hidden pink treasures. Just kidding, but seriously, I was on a strawberry picking spree!
I ended up picking 2 & 1/2 buckets of strawberries, which isn’t too bad for a newbie strawberry picker, but I knew I couldn’t bring them all home. So I shared one bucket with my family & saved 1 & 1/2 buckets for me because I couldn’t part with any more of those little pink treasures.
The only problem is that 1 & 1/2 buckets of strawberries were still too many for the two of us to eat. So I knew I needed to create a few new strawberry recipes to help use up all of the strawberries before they went bad.
So on top of the 2-3 Fresh Strawberry Vanilla Milkshakes, I also made a few new recipes to share with you all over the next few weeks! Which brings us to this Strawberry Banana Bread!
And I’ll let you in on a little secret, I may like this Strawberry Banana Bread more than regular banana bread because it’s filled with sweet pink berries! Plus it looks so pretty!
Next week I will be sharing another new strawberry recipe, but if you can’t wait until then, be sure to also check out these Strawberries & Cream Popsicles! And don’t forget to subscribe or follow me on Pinterest & Instagram so you don’t miss out on any of these yummy new recipes!
- 4 Large Over Ripened Bananas*(1)
- 2 1/2 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
- 1 Cup White Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Butter Room Temperature
- 2 Large Egg
- 4 Heaping Tablespoons Sour Cream
- 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 & 1/2 Cups Sliced Strawberries Tossed in 3 Tablespoons of Flour
- First, spray the bread pans with oil & preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenhigt.
- Mash the bananas on a plate, removing any bad spots, & set them to the side.
- Sift all of the dry ingredients, except the sugar, in a bowl and set to the side.
- In a separate bowl blend the 1 cup of sugar & the 1/2 cup of butter into a nice cream. Then add one egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Blend in 4 heaping tablespoons sour cream & 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
- Mix the mashed bananas into the wet ingredients until combined.
- Slowly stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, just until combined, & do not over mix.
- Fold in your flour covered strawberries & pour your banana bread mixture into the bread pan & bake for 25 minutes. Once golden brown cover with foil and bake for another 15 minutes or until the toothpick comes out clean.
- Enjoy!
- *1. I often use defrosted frozen bananas, just be sure to remove any excess water.

I have never been strawberry picking, but like you I have been apple picking. So this sounds like a great family fun day activity. And I would have never paired strawberries and bananas in bread, but if it works for smoothies I know it can work for bread. Yum!
Yes, perfect family activity! I knew it was going to be fun, but I didn’t realize just how fun it would be!
