Servings: 10 slices
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 5 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes

Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium bananas mashed
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries diced and tossed in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose four

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ and spray a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mix together oil and sugar. Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla; mix until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Gently add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Being careful not to overmix.
  • Stir in mashed bananas and strawberries tossed in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour.
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 65 -75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs.
    Tent with foil for the last 15 minutes, if needed. This will prevent the top of the loaf from getting too brown.
  • Let cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

TIPS
  • Keep in mind fresh strawberries can be somewhat tricky as they all have different amounts of moisture in them. Be sure when you wash them to dry them thoroughly before beginning the recipe so as not to add additional water to the recipe.
  • Use very ripe bananas: Here is an excellent guide to ripening bananas quickly. See the FAQs in the recipe post for more information on why overripened bananas are so crucial to banana bread.
  • Measure your flour correctly: Fluff the flour in the container it is stored in. Then scoop the flour out of the contain with a spoon and into your dry measuring cup and then level it off. Do not pack it in.
  • Make sure your baking soda is fresh and in date. If the baking soda isn't in date, it won't create the reaction needed to bake a beautiful quick bread. You can test it by dropping a small amount in some vinegar-it should bubble and foam up immediately.
  • Baking Time Varies: Baking times will vary based on many things, like the moisture content of the bananas and strawberries, climate, pans, and oven temperatures often vary. Be sure to keep an eye on the bread and don't go solely on the cooking time, especially the first time you make this. You may need to adjust the time based on these factors. Also, if you use a dark baking pan, you may want to decrease the temperature to 325℉.
  • Tent the pan: Loosely drape the pan with a sheet of aluminum foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes to keep the sides and top from browning before the center is fully cooked.
Storage & Freezing Instructions
Storage: Because of the moisture in the strawberries, this won't store as long as traditional banana bread. Cool completely, then cover with foil or plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and store for 2 to 3 days.
Freeze: Allow the bread to cool completely. Wrap with foil or freezer wrap and place in a freezer bag. You can freeze the whole loaf or in individual slices. Set it out on the counter to thaw before serving.
