Strawberry banana bread with blueberries

Strawberry Banana Bread with Blueberries – the best strawberry banana bread ever! Moist, delicious, flavorful. Made even better with the addition of blueberries.

Whenever I make banana bread, it’s usually because I have overly ripe bananas, and I don’t want to waste them.

This time around, I also had a package of fresh strawberries that were getting dangerously soft and a package of wrinkled fresh blueberries, so why not throw all of these ingredients together into one deliciously moist strawberry banana bread!

And what a great and colorful strawberry banana bread it turned out to be! I also added a tablespoon of fresh lemon zest to the bread batter which gave the bread even more oomph! It’s like the summer entered my house!

Mixed berries, spiced up by the lemon zest in a loaf of banana bread – to me, it tastes like a summer berry cake. You can’t really go wrong with a very moist banana bread stuffed with strawberries and blueberries.
